WRITING OBSTACLE
Tell the reader something important about a character by describing only their hands.
Soft, Yet Tough
There is a guy named Jimmy Fernandez
He had big hands
His hands were hairy
His fingers were fat
His hands were scarred
His fingers were wide
His fingers had several cuts
His hands were veiny
Veins would pop out everywhere
His hands were strong
Could easily crush anything
His hands felt so rugged
They felt like the hardest, hariest sandpaper
Jimmy looked so intimidating
Looked so powerful
So monsterous with just his bare hands
But I knew Jimmy
I knew how Jimmy used his hands
His hands were strong
Strongest I have ever seen
Could have used them for lifting
For fighting
For chopping down wood
For tearing things down
For murder
But he instead used his hands
His meaty, mighty hands
To help his plants grow
To play classics on his piano
To pet and love animals
And he would always use his hands
To hug his little girl
To make her just as powerful and strong
As his hands
Whenever she felt weak or less than
