Day 13 - Imagery


You have your story down in a skeleton state but we need to jazz it up a bit to keep our readers interested. We use something called imagery, writing that appeals to our senses, to make our writing more interesting.

Example (before imagery): The wind was cold at the lake.

Example (after imagery): The frigid wind whipped across the lake.


1. Look through your writing.

2. With each sentence jazz it up with either powerful words or imagery.

3. You might need to add more descriptive sentences now to give the reader a more clear picture of what you saw, heard, felt, tasted or smelled during your story.

4. Rewrite your story with your added pizazz. Post it here so that we can see your improvements.
