#WritersWisdom -Rule 77- Practice the Elements of Description

Writer’s Wisdom -Rule #77- Practice the Elements of Description.  “In stories, as in life, we must sometimes stop everything that’s going on. Stop, and observe. For storytellers this represents a kind of crossover into visual art because here we paint word pictures, or snap photographs in phrases. The two primary categories of descriptive writing are catalogs and sketches  Invest a little in their creation and they pay back ten-fold in your narrative.”
