physical or sensory details trigger the brain to actually feel emotion

abstract concepts like a politcal movement need concrete physical metaphors to be able to be fully digested and grasped by the readers

i think removing filler words is something i need to do instead of just directly putting "he said" "she said"

telling the audience what somethin is NOT leaves their imagination to fill in the gaps and create something unique to every reader

all words mean white but they all set tone differently and its up to the reader to determine it but the writer almost sways the reader in the direction he wants

i like this because writing is both an art and interpretation so there is beauty in it all even when it doesn't make sense to you

using these 8 verbs in succession so shortly keeps the flow of the scene without creating a giant paragraph.

i think its cool that chronological ordering happens naturally when describing a process. the reader doesn't need to try and piece things together.

"freezing the frame" lets the writer essentially stop time for the reader which is also good for setting up scenes before they happen.

O'Keeffe used real objects as "treasures" to fuel her abstract art. this shows that good description starts with physical observation.
