Descriptive Writing Skills
Step 1: Use more complex words. You can Google complex words or use Microsoft Word by highlighting the original word and right clicking and selecting synonyms. Here are a few to help you gain A-A*:
Loquacious = Talkative
Galling = Irritating
Mellifluous = Sweet/musical voice or pleasant to hear
Rambunctious = Uncontrollable
Cachinnate = To laugh loudly
Onychophagist = A person who bites his or her nails
Discombobulate = to confuse someone
Step 2: Use 2A sentences
Put two adjectives before every noun in pieces of cretaive writing.
Example: The person had long, golden, hair.
Step 3: Use a semi-Colon (;)
Step 4: Varying Sentences
Use a mix of long and short sentences in your work.
Example: Suddenly, I stopped. In front of me I saw a long, meandering corridor. The corridor walls were damp with green, creeping moss and in the darkness I could just make out a small, glowing, light.
Step 5: Use the 5 senses
Try to think of things that you can describe using taste, touch, sound, sight and smell.
