 What is Descriptive Writing?

The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing

in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event
through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using
all of your five senses.

 What is Descriptive Writing?

Descriptive writing is just as it sounds. It’s writing that shows a clear, vivid
description of a person, place, or thing within your story. The point of descriptive
writing is to help your readers visualize everything that’s happening in the story.
