Add spice and imagery to your writing by avoiding worn out modifiers and phrases.When you write an overused image like blue sky consider what else you could use in sound, scent, taste or texture to pique the reader's curiosity and gain attention.
Notice the difference in imagery:
a broken
tool half a pair of
scissors
a rusted
car Cadillac
dappled with rust
beautiful
woman woman with a piano player's fingers
quiet
day even the birds overslept
good
friend tasty
as triple chocolate cake
Try these: summer day, hot
morning, wet dress, cheeping bird, frustration, anger, anxiety.
Creative Write: Where will you go with sensory metaphors today?
