Re: Non Descriptive vs Descriptive Writing

I've noticed that a lot of people dont know the difference between
Non-Descriptive and Descriptive Writing. When you are role playing
online, what you write is very important. Its important for it to be
clear, well written, and descriptive. Free from excessive grammatical
and spelling errors, is also a plus when it comes to writing.

Unlike when your doing live action and what you say, and how you say
it is important, you have nothing to go on to build a character aside
from the written word.
