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 chocolate cake
Try these: summer day, hot morning, wet dress, cheeping bird, frustration, anger, anxiety.
Where will you go with sensory metaphors today?
