Re: Writing Question

Hmm, could you give an example of what you're talking about?

Characterization comes through dialogue with the words the characters are choosing and how they respond to the conversation so I'm not sure what kind of characterization you're aiming for.

If you want to avoid long paragraphs, you can break up the information. Like, the person comes into a room and it's dark. Then while he's talking to the person in the room, he picks up objects in the room or walks closer to something or he has trouble seeing the person's expression because it's dark. Elements of the scene are introduced as they affect the character.

Is that the kind of thing you're looking for or did you mean something else?

No, that's helpful. I'm just not good with dialogue. But that breaking up the information thing is actually super helpful.

Okay, good. I second what others have said about characterization through dialogue. If you do have difficulty conveying characterization through body language, may I suggest this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Emotion-Thesaurus-Writers-Character-Expression/dp/1475004958/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

It has pages of emotions you want to convey and then things people do to convey that emotion. I find the list of actions characters can take to convey their emotions is very helpful.
