Lesson
The saying goes “a picture is worth one thousand words.” I’m only asking for fifty. Descriptive language is essential to many types of writing, from technical specifications to creative writing. Finding the best way to represent something with words is incredibly difficult, and one of the best ways to do so is by over-describing the thing and then paring away all the unnecessary description. This same principle can be applied to all writing, not just description. Write everything. Erase the unimportant. The list for this assignment begins with some low-hanging fruit.
