Description Cards—Storytellers Deck: Character Distinctions Excerpt PDF

The First Step to Making Your Characters Instantly Memorable.

Rather than giving your audience a long, detailed description of a character’s height, build, facial features, and clothing, it’s best to just show the “essence” of the character, including his personality or state of mind, as perceived by the viewer, through a few well-chosen details.

These well-chosen details are presented in tarot-card sized cards that list adjectives, keywords and example descriptions on how to creatively use them all.
