Description

You can learn a lot about a character by the way they describe others. The things they pick up on (the fact that they always have a pencil on them), their opinion on the person (They always have a clean room) and facial features (Their eyes are always sparkling). It shows what's important to them or things they don't do. Such as for this particular character, they aren't clean and organised so when someone else very clean and has to have everything a certain way they tend to criticises and judge the person. Description sounds easy and simple but deep down, all writers know there is a lot more to it.

I recently finished read Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the sequel to Divergent, and quite liked it. However, I'm noticing more and more the in depth plot known as Harry Potter was just so brilliant that everything else dims in its shine. Layer upon layer each character was formed, for every action there was a reason and for every disaster there was a purpose. Everything has a purpose. Everything can be analysed. Such depth I really want to have.

I don't want a prissy novel that is simple enough to guess the end. I want someone to be able to have an idea of how it is going to end if they want to study real hard and pick up the clues left between the lines but only for the readers who strive for it. I understand now that the thought of finishing writing a book this year is not likely because of what I want to achieve. Not impossible but I think I want to work on the plot a bit longer, more and more ideas and flowing forth now I just have to give them a place inside the world I am creating.
