Simple Tricks to Improve Your Writing [With Cover Tips!]

Diverting Descriptions ✔

Use powerful and vivid adjectives to describe things in your story.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun.
(Colors, shapes, textures, and sizes are all adjectives)

Let's transform a boring noun using adjectives:

The dog.

What does the dog look like? Is it a nice dog? Who owns it?

Here it is, but with adjectives this time:

John's big, brown spotted dog.

Now we know the dog is
-owned by John
-big
-brown-spotted

Isn't that much better?

Using simple adjectives like those (though "John's" wasn't an adjective) can lead to WAY more descriptive sentences, and allows your readers to make an image in their mind about what something looks or feels like.

And it's not just limited to those two senses.

You can say the high chirp of a robin
You can say the popcorn's buttery scent
And you can say the donut was sweet and cakey.

When describing, if you write like the readers don't know what a robin sounds like, or what popcorn smells like, or what donuts taste like, writing is a lot more descriptive. And you want that.
