Dessert in Words

 

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


Create descriptions:  summer day, hot morning, wet dress, cheeping bird, frustration, anger, anxiety.
