Unless you’re saying that I’m annoying you with the endless questions.

Nah, we welcome the extra chattiness, adds something to discuss otherwise the forums get a bit idle/dull.

That’s an interesting idea although not sure if I want to go in that direction.

It’s “Return of the Deadman Chronicles!”

[Learn to touch type]

Had a small mini course on touch typing back in high school… remarkably useful TBH.  (It was part of a series of mini-courses, honing some basics, like shop skills, intro-drivers-ed, personal finance, etc.)

[writing about breasts]

Yeah, never understood how the narrator knows the exact size of breasts with out a tape measure, I just use the standard size descriptors: large, buxom, pert small flat...

Sounds less clinical to me anyway, and if you want a hot, or even loving, sex scene, clinical descriptions just ruin it.

What?  The parole officer would insist on using a tape measure at every encounter… maybe they want repeat business? 

Applies to the male side to, usually I’ll go with the relative size too… I mean, small/medium/large usually covers what I need to convey, that’s typically more important unless two characters are getting into a hissy fit.

[Characters and . . . Clothing?]

So, my questions, does clothing/appearance/visual details matter at all when you're writing or reading? Do you even bother dressing characters in things that are different from their normal or at least describe what they look like? In general, how much detail is necessary?

If the characters are nude, the whole question vanishes

Typically, I keep it short on descriptions, color (or pattern), the garment, and not usually everything either.  However, sometimes when details matter, I’ll mention them more often (ie, canary yellow jeans).  Sometimes, you simply don’t bother, the character’s been described enough that you can kinda leave it to the readers imagination too.
