A Thousand Words


It's funny how we talk alot everyday without realizing how many words we use, and then someone can say even more than we ever could with one picture. Soak up the following pictures and guess what I'm trying to say.






The beautiful thing about descriptive writing is that it tries to capture in words, what we could experience at a glance, or in one moment. and that's why it helps to be very descriptive or rather, relate as many information that deals with the senses, so that the reader can partake of the experience or person or thing or place or event you are trying to describe.

So next time you go outside, look around you and take a deep breath and then listen, inhale, feel, and engage as many senses as possible. Who knows, maybe you will learn something new about your surrounding and yourself.



Look out for descriptive lesson three, it deals with figurative devices and after lesson four; techniques for composing description, we will start practicing to write descriptively.

Never Give Up!

Life can be a chore. Sometimes it gets exciting, and you get hopeful. But sometimes it crashes, like a torpedo taking a dive, and you feel like, well, crap. These ups and downs of life are really based on our feelings. Feelings change everyday, many times. To determine that your life is a failure or success based on your feelings is therefore unreliable and dangerous. Why? We go through so many things everyday. Some things are bad and some things are good. If every time you feel bad about something, you become hopeless and sink into despair, you are putting your whole life at risk, over a moment in time. And conversely, if you have something great going on now and you feel good and make decisions on how you feel, even though you might be happy now, those decisions might make you unhappy later. Never make decisions on your feelings. I know this now, because I have made the mistakes and I have gotten so low in my feelings that I have actually attempted suicide more than once. Don...

A Thought Having a great idea, is like seeing a light in the darkness. It's just like walking out into a beautifully lit moonlight night and beholding heaven in a glance. Good ideas make us feel excited and they can come from anywhere around us: from the water running down your body in the shower, from the sound of your friend laughing at something you are not quite sure of, from the smile of your child, from the sweet taste of fresh ripe fruit or even from utter chaos. But never stop looking for good ideas. If you should want to write something and get writer's block, just take the time to observe your surroundings. Examine it with an open mind. Inhale and exhale, take note of the sounds, smells, textures and all that is happening around you. Behold the story of life unfolding before you and your idea is somewhere there waiting for you to discover it. And the explorer in you will find it, soon enough. Enjoy....
