[|Elements of Style] by Strunk and White Big Huge [|Thesaurus] According to [|Book Nuts Reading Club]descriptive writing shares the following characteristics: [|Story Ideas] Creative Writing Inspiration with Pictures [|Comparison of Basic Forms] [|education tools]
 * Commonly Misused Words [|link]**
 * 1) 1. Good descriptive writing includes many vivid sensory details that paint a picture and appeals to all of the reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste when appropriate. Descriptive writing may also paint pictures of the feelings the person, place or thing invokes in the writer.
 * 2) 2. Good descriptive writing often makes use of figurative language such as analogies, similes and metaphors to help paint the picture in the reader's mind.
 * 3) 3. Good descriptive writing uses precise language. General adjectives, nouns, and passive verbs do not have a place in good descriptive writing. Use specific adjectives and nouns and strong action verbs to give life to the picture you are painting in the reader's mind.
 * 4) 4. Good descriptive writing is organized. Some ways to organize descriptive writing include: chronological (time), spatial (location), and order of importance. When describing a person, you might begin with a physical description, followed by how that person thinks, feels and acts.
 * 5) Sample Narrative Essay
 * 6) Personal Memoir ideas
