“The thing about characterization — direct characterization, in which you write about a person’s psychology and the specific things which have shaped it to its particular form — is that, in most stories, a little goes a long way. As Oscar Wilde noted more than a hundred years ago, the more characterization you have, the more your character comes to sound like everybody else.” -Samuel R. Delany
