Unlock the Hidden Power of Description: Transform Your Fiction from Ordinary to Unforgettable
Let’s consider a description of a room:
There is a bookshelf in one corner and a chair in the opposite corner. There’s a couch and a coffee table in the center of the room. A piano sits in front of a large picture window. The walls are wood paneled and covered with paintings.
This description may give you a sense of the room, but it’s boring. Readers are likely to drift off if a description continues like this for too long.
What’s wrong with this description? Almost every sentence begins with “There is” or some variation of it, and most of the verbs are various forms of to be. Although it’s useful to draft descriptions in this manner, these sentences need to be reworked so that they hold the reader’s attention:
