Less magic schools. More magic universities. Unlearn the simplified models of your secondary education. Discover how to reference scrolls written by a wizard possessed by a different wizard. Identify bias in the voices that whisper from beyond the veil. Have your institution be accused of promoting a Merlinist agenda. Become addicted to energy potions.

I had a bit of fun in the #VeryRealisticYA hashtag. Guess how many of these are autobiographical?

Description of main characters in first draft stories often fall into two wide categories — far too little or way too much.  Writers see their characters and they want their readers to see them, too.  However, sometimes they can go too far in description, especially in the main character.

What?  Don’t you want the reader to see the main character just as he or she is?  Yes, you do.  However, you need to consider two things about readers.  First, they have vivid imaginations and can ‘see’ characters without every detail drawn in.  Second — and the more important of the two — the reader wants to connect with the main character in some way.  This may mean that she wants to see the character as herself or she may want to imagine the character as a favorite star.  If you give too much description, you erase that connection.
