A Descriptive Writing Exercise

Here’s a quick exercise to pratice descriptive writing: On your way to work (or other location) take a moment to look around. How would you describe that? Where are you? What do you see? What do you here? What are your emotions as you’re traveling? Now try to describe it to someone from 100 years ago. Try again to describe it without using certain nouns such as car, sign, road, etc.

Feel free to tell me what you come up with.
