Describing Something

Imagine that you were a best-selling author, such as J.K. Rowling.  Imagine that for every single word you wrote, you got paid $100. Now, this is not impossible, but not very likely to happen. Anyways, how much would you just describe an old man's beard? You could easily get $100,000 in just one paragraph! Here is what I would do!

The old man had a ghastly beard. It was a washed out brown with a little bit of a dull gray. I thought I saw tiny bugs like cockroaches swarming around and buzzing in my ear! All of his hair was tangled into itself and not very presentable. 

I could go on and on! But, that would probably bore you or disgust you. Here are some topics to practice describing in depth:

A man's beard

How disgusting a food looked

How yummy a food looked

What a hobo looked like

What your bedroom looked like

How your house looked like

Inside of an airplane

Use sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings to describe something. The more you practice, the more you get better at it!
