Thursdays for Fiction Writers

Description is a great tool for writers. Readers can’t see into your imagination unless you can describe things to them in great detail, as if describing something to someone who is blind. Today describe your character’s bedroom. Is your character tidy, or messy? What colours, fabrics, furniture have they chosen? Does their bedroom show anything about the kind of person they are? What kind of activities do they love to do in their bedroom - is it also an office, or a refuge for example? Do they make their bed every morning? What does your character think about their bedroom? Take a blind reader on a virtual tour of your character’s bedroom so that they can visualize it in their mind.
