Re: Descriptive Writing

Sheri,  I do a  rough draft to get the basic info down on paper and  
then go back and craft it.  The biggest mistake many writers make is  
overkill. If you're talking about making jelly, wax on about the joys  
of fresh strawberry jam on toast for a sentence to two to get the  
reader excited about the project and get on with the business of how  
make it. If you have the space, end the article with colorful  
description of serving.
