Tip #3
A way to create descriptive images is to show us what you see with the specific images that catch your attention. Often, this means focusing on a small detail within one moment.
Writer and teacher, Ralph Fletcher, illustrates this tip with an example about his grandmother. He could tell us that she loved to cook Italian food, but instead he writes this:
Over the years she’s cut so much garlic that the smell is soaked forever into her warped cutting board.
In this example, he’s highlighting a small, focused detail and showing us a vibrant image.
Writing Prompt #3
Take a walk. Write about what you see or hear.
In Japan, taking a walk outside and writing a haiku about what you see in nature is called a ginko.

Always writing haiku,

The trees rustling
makes me think there’s a monster
though it’s just a bird

Leaves are crispy green
Grass is growing super fast
Sun is shining now

Five small and big steps
to the shiny white mail box
Oh look, mail is here!

Dirt moves on its own?
Mother Nature's magic trick?
Ahhh, lizard darts out!
