Be more descriptive in your writing.
We all know that descriptive words are those key words and phrases we use to describe, to display an accurate picture of a character and his actions, or to tell a story. They help readers see, in their mind's eye, our characters acting, speaking and feeling in ways that make them believable, real.There are long lists of descriptive words that authors can use in their writing: for commentary, for characters - physical qualities, mental qualities, moral qualities or spiritual ones- both positive and negative.And don't think that only adjectives are descriptive words.
