The words you choose to describe your characters, scenes, settings, and ideas--in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction--need to precisely illustrate the vision you want to convey.

   • Develop your powers of observation to uncover rich, evocative descriptions.
   • Discover and craft original and imaginative metaphors and similes.
   • Effectively and accurately describe characters and settings.
   • Weave description seamlessly through your stories, essays, and poems.
You''ll also find dozens of descriptive passages from master authors and poets--as well as more than one hundred exercises--to illuminate the process. Whether you are writing a novel or a poem, a memoir or an essay, Word Painting Revised Edition will guide you in the creation of your own literary masterpiece. Less
