See ya next time. I've worked so many hours this week I'm catching up today. Who'd have thought there were so many descriptions for eyes, or for brows and looks? I'll have to remember them.

    If you add this to your bookcase as many have, you won't need to remember them all. That way, they will be at your fingertips. Thank you for the wonderful review, dear.

Oh those adjectives and their placement just make all the difference in the world, don't they? Amazing how you can take something simple and make it so very intense... love it!! ;) Thanx for the tips, Lady Sal! ;) Yvette

I am new to FanStory, with only two posts so far. This is a fabulous writing tool that I never expected to find here. I have written several short stories that are not posted, and will now go back to see if I can enhance my descriptions. I sincerely thank you for sharing your expertise. I am looking forward to future chapters. Thanks again.

Hi Sally, that is really good. I could see many that I would benefit my work, and I'm sure even the most well-known authors wouldn't mind a look at this. It's a great idea. Thanks for putting it on FS, I'll print it out :)) Sandra xx

Sally, you are an inspiration to all of us. I wish I had found this earlier, there are so many wonderful tips and ideas that you offer. And the "In a sentence" at the end of each list is a wonderful way of bringing it all together. I have never found this kind of straight forward advise before, nor have I seen so many ways of describing a single facial attribute. Thank you so much for sharing. You have so much talent, we are all blessed by knowing you. Mr. Green

What a marvelous and helpful series you have started, Sally. Wish I had a six for this. It is very descriptive and offers a banquet of food for thought. You possess all the attributes of an excellent mentor for the benefit of those having a desire to become a new or better writer. I am eager to read more. Blessings and joy, my friend!

My, you spent a lot of time on compiling that list, Sally. It should serve the writer well. I know I've found "The Emotion Thesaurus," by Angela Ackerman, and Becca Puglisi, useful when I'm trying to describe a particular emotion. The fact that I downloaded it on Kindle makes it easy to reference the thesaurus while I have either Word or FanStory opened up. I'll be interested in reading more of your posts, Sally. Several years ago, I wrote a series here called, "How This Critter Crits." It got quite a few views. I think yours should do so as well.

You never realize how many different descriptions you can use until you read a post like this. Suddenly, you see things so differently. I'm sure this post has helped many, or will help many, in their future writings.
