Descriptive writing

 Word painting by Rebecca Maclanahan

1. Descriptive writing must be:

-sensory

-concise, focus on the musical quality of the language

- creating movement in the context of the story: things in a state of activity

- use of figurative speech

-has to serve the larger piece, therefore the description has to be effective 


2. Evoke all 5 senses
