Remember descriptive writing required close attention to details. Whether you are describing something small like a cat’s eye marble or something as large as the garden in your grandmother’s back yard, you should start by observing the subject closely and then decide which details to describe.

Choosing the topic for your descriptive essay is generally the most time-consuming part. Because the essay is generally about you or about your experience in doing something, most of it comes out of your head. In other words, there won’t be any research involved. Making an outline for your topic is the best way to start the writing process, because it will serve as a template for you. You can just look at the outline and you’ll know what to write about next. Make sure you make a catchy title for your essay.

Make your essay come alive on paper by injecting plenty of descriptive words that are bright and colorful and exciting. This is the best way to catch your reader’s attention and make them want to keep reading right up to the end.
