Rewritalize in 2020



Start the New Year with spice and imagery. Avoid 
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.


Rewritalize with sensory metaphors today.
