I felt very uninspired today.... so I did a couple of character studies in my description diary.

He has the thin, hatchet-faced look of a minor Victorian villain, all sharp angles, sallow skin and too many teeth in a smile that even a toddler would find suspicious.

Your character studies are always fantastic: short, poignant and very visual. I wish I could do that, instead of writing descriptions longer than my arm.

Thanks. One of the reasons I do them in the book is to try and hone them and work on the skill at making them shorter and sharper (two of my favourite 'describers' in literature are Wodehouse and Chandler, both of whom can use imagery as masters, so I am inspired by them :)
