Trying not to repeat myself when describing characters, actions, beats, etc in a manuscript that will reach 300k words is a new challenge. I've written this much about characters before, but only across series, when it makes sense to do callbacks to similar descriptors as a method of characterization across books. It's different in a single title!

Editing this book, I suspect, will involve deleting a lot of "visual" repetition.

Writing drunk, never editing

@skimgoth I use a cheat for this. I describe things multiple times but from the perspective of diff characters.
That said, I also have trouble with this. "Ive already shown this exact thing. I cant do it again." But then Ill go and read, like, Dan Brown or someone like that and their work is full of repetition. So idk if it really matters all that much lol
