How to introduce viewpoint character's physical features.

[RJM Corbet]

I think that can work very well - it's how Dolly Parton does it, just dives in with a description and is how I tend to do. (she is my number one hero when it comes to characterisation.)

Sorry Anya. Its an interesting technique that I'm going to try + will bear that in mind when I listen to Dolly Parton again. Missed your post. Blame Ursa

Ah, she's quite well respected, I understand, with a knack of bringing Tolstoy's imagery through.

Thanks.

I tried to read a Balzac novel once, forget which, translated so badly from the French that I just couldn't read it at all ...
