Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. As a writer, I tend to prefer leaning on the reader’s imagination, I mean, they should have an imagination, right? Esp as that imagination can fill in the detail much more than my words can. So, my typical description of a character… a sentence of two, because, well, when I’m a reader, I find that pages and pages of description to be a pet peeve of mine.
