I've heard a lot of people saying they skip descriptions if they are written as one bulk list, but others say it's important that we let the reader know what the character looks like and include all the intended details we want to reveal about their looks as soon as possible. So, when describing a character, should you write their description in one bulk of text all at once, or spread the points out with other stuff happening in between like in the following example? > Sweat dripped down her amber skin. > > Text > > text > > text > > She shook her head, gazing at him with her blue eyes. > > text > > text > > text > > She moved a lock of her dark hair from her face. What is the best practice? And also, would the same rules apply to the POV character or not?
