nanowrimo_ljHow important is it to you to have characters' appearances described in the books you read? Do you prefer to have it described or do you like it to not be, so you can form your own picture based off their character?
I know some books ignore appearance-descriptions altogether, while others describe just about every character. But in the book I'm writing, I tend to have very specific pictures of my characters, and explain some of them enough to give an idea. However, I've met one character who is one of the main characters and for the life of me, I can't figure out how I'd imagine him to look. Should I just pass over it and let people decide for themselves how to picture him, or do you think, for the sake of my writing-patterns, I should try and come up with something?
