How to personalize a template
A strong dog description shows what the dog is doing now, how its body moves through the space, what it attends to, and how other characters respond. Breed, age, training, health, and context can matter, but writers should avoid treating posture, barking, size, or breed as automatic proof of intention, danger, friendliness, or emotion.
- 1Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
- 2Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
- 3Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
- 4Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
- 5Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
