Because I really struggle to describe my characters (How did I get this far?) I'm starting to take to practicing it. And since we already have one writing challenge I really enjoy (thank you @Louanne Learning ), I thought it would be fun to turn into a writing challenge too (and keep myself doing it in the process). So, rules:
1) I'll start by posting a photo of a person (plucked from the internet) and then write a description. No more than a hundred words is a good rule I think.
2) Then I'll post a picture below that.
3) The next poster describes the/a person in the picture above (marking how many words it was), then posts a new picture.
4) Repeat step three until the stars burn out.
EXTRA RULE: Pictures should be either of celebrities/actors etc who can reasonably expect to have their faces in the public realm or photos where the person isn't identifiable. In effect following post number 2.
Sound good? Well, guess I'll do it anyway!
He looked humble, almost so much so that you didn't believe it. He wore a vest and jeans and looked like the type of guy to have backup pairs of each, like it was the only thing he'd ever wear. He was balding, the hair on his head and face a rusty lining. You’d think nothing of him in the street unless he smiled, and then you’d see it. All the stars in the galaxy shone in those eyes, in that hope, in eternal, glowing cheer. (86 words)
And the next one...
Your turn!
