Description Description. It’s one of the most important parts of good writing, to be able to describe something in a way that lets your readers see, hear, taste, smell and feel it. Did you notice that I used all our senses in that last sentence? That’s because we perceive the world with all our senses, not just our sight. And so good descriptions don’t simply rely on what something looks like; when other senses matter, a good description uses those, too.
Take an object from your desk, maybe a pencil, a piece of paper, or a book. Perhaps glue, a ruler, or a stick of gum you have stashed away. Look at it. Smell it. Feel it. Bang it or crumple it or see what other kind of sound you can make with it. Taste it. |
