My NEW Endeavor - Sensory Scenes

Recently, I've realized that BIG HUMONGOUS GIGANTIC words should not be the focus of writing.

Instead, I should be focusing on keeping things nice, simple, understanding and CAPTIVATING to the reader.

Now. My goal is to write out a quick description of a scene or object using emotional and sensory words because it is useful in conversation and in writing.

But I can't do this alone. I will need YOUR help. Now.

I want you guys to post down a topic, object or scene for me to describe (eg. Man falling off a burning building, a race, cat, objects, weather, etc.).

I will use a reasonable amount of sensory words because we don't want to sound like a sappy love story.

To critique, pretend you're blind and imagine from age 13. You can recornize common objects, colors, etc. And if you see any areas on how I can improve, let me know.

Lookin forward to this.

S

I'm glad for you, but i believe your discovery has been discovered before. One of the most notable pwriters that i can think of right off the bat is Ernest Hemingway. He used a short, succinct style of writing, which i believe is what you're trying to convey to me. In any case, describe a man walking down a busy street.
