2. Description - Use the five senses. Before you write, add some scary words to this list.
See - Use color - red, blue; bright
Touch - hard, cold, wet, rough
Smell - Cinnamon, rose, musky, rank
Sound - crunch, snap, whistle
Taste - bitter, sweet, sour
3. Verbs are important. They actually help set the tone and are quite descriptive in a short story
Example: Bland - Jane said. More descriptive - Jane screamed.
4. Put ideas in reader's head - foreshadow.
