Good authors choose their words very carefully. take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. pick a location you went to or an event you attended. once you have finished, read over what you have written. now, write a second paragraph. in it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. ask yourself questions like: what words capture this image exactly? what is the best word to convey how something looked, or how i felt? take more time with the second paragraph.
