  • This is similar to idea development, however the focus is on sensory detail. Putting words in motion.
  • Don't tell us, show us.
  • Keep in mind the use of strong sensory detail, do not just limit it to adjectives and adverbs. Use nouns and verbs to create good sensory impressions as well.
  • Describe a place you both mutually know about and can vividly remember that is around the winter season (November-February)
  • Paint the picture for us.
  • Don't use overly wordy statements, stick to what you know but still push yourself to be creative.
  • Each person needs to have it posted on blog w/ PARTNER's NAME to get the full credit
