the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:

--- Quote from: The Deposed King on October 27, 2012, 12:55:36 AM ---Then he needs to be thoroughly disgusted and mentally crap all over other people and their fashion fixations, and then he can imagine how others see him and crap all over them for that too.

Hrrrmmm.

Last weekend, the friend I was visiting expressed pleased surprise that my fashion choice so well complemented hers, and I had to explain that no, I picked those colours because I only own two shirts of that particular weight and degree of warmth appropriate to the weather, and two days before I had absently soaked the sleeve of the other one in my dinner.

i.e. you did it subconsciously.    Well done.

Paynesgrey:
I've been pretty light on my character's description, with her age and general build being about it.  She has a very distinctive narrative voice and I guess I'm curious to see how different people will envision her.  Beyond the physical manifestations, ethnicity is really a non-issue in my story.  (I doubt that today's current ethnic concerns, dialects and issues will be that big a deal in 4,000 or so years.) 

lynde4:
Hmm. I write in the first person a lot, and I've found I describe my narrator through other characters and her actions. Nothing more. And it works. Nicely.

phoenixjustice:
I'm currently working on my first book in 1st pov. Can be difficult but also worthwhile. The only hard part is getting a sense of other characters actions/motivations since the narrative is in a specific person's pov, then again that's a plus as well, the mystery. Getting people to want to know more.
