FAQ
What is descriptive writing?
Descriptive writing is how authors ‘show’ the readers what they are writing.
Can I be too descriptive?
Absolutely. There’s a possibility of doing too much of anything. Descriptive writing needs to be balanced to avoid telling too much or too little.
Do I need a thesaurus?
A thesaurus is a great tool to use when starting out. As your vocabulary grows it’s smart to keep this resource around.
