Specificity, Voice and Backstory

                Today we're talking about character voice, backstory, and writing with specificity. I’ve talked about all these elements separately, but combined these three are the most important elements of your description. Why? Because describing something is the best place to learn not only what the character is experiencing, but more about them and their backstory.

                We do that through drawing comparisons not to abstract ideas, but to specific moments the character has witnessed. Okay, consider these two examples:

The room smelled of warm spices and herbs like a fancy restaurant kitchen.

Vs.

The room smelled like the thyme and basil that clung to my mother's hair when she had finished making dinner, kneeling to hug me after I came in from school.

                They convey the same information, but we learn so much more about the character in the second example.

                In my Differentiating between Perspectives post, I talked more about attitude in character voice. What your character compares things to is a great tell for voice. Here’s the example from that post:

                “The bar was filled to the brim with sweaty drunks falling over each other, barely cognizant of the drinks they were spilling--much less so the people around them.”

                Versus

                “Upbeat dance music filled the bar. A crowd had formed in the middle of the floor, people cheering and dancing together like the rest of the world hardly mattered.”

                Right?

                Check out the full post here:

                So when you’re describing something and reaching for a metaphor or something to liken it to, try to make it personal, in the character’s voice, and specific. We can learn a whole lot more that way.

Twitter and Tumblr are crazy because you see a post along the line of "Look at these stupid minors, i can't believe i have to see their opinions online, fuck these DUMB, IDIOT, USELESS, UNLOVED, UGLY minors" and the post is just "Incest and pedophilia are bad and weird"

I need someone to draw all the foxes as children, please it's need 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
