Hello AF'ers, I was inspired to open such contest because I enjoy reading a good bit of descriptive writing. Each week I'll set a simple task of a writing short story making it as descriptive as you can.

Here's what will boost you up in the marks for it -

• Using a wide complex of metaphors and similes
  
• A wide range of good decent vocabulary used
  
• Is about the topic given
  
• Lots of details compiled into a short paragraphs
  
• Your writing produces an image and you can easily picture what you're talking about
  

I am interested in seeing what you guys can come up with!

Week #1 -

Produce a short description (200 - 600 words approx) about a place you know a lot about and how it is in the winter.

If you don't know a place well enough you're allowed to use an imaginary place but make sure it's reasonable on the thoughts you're writing about.

Tips -

• Don't make it repetitive.
  
• Keep it to the point but describe it well.
  
• Use the senses (touch, taste, sight, sound, smell) to type about things.
  
• Show emotion whilst describing - Trust me, it highly improves your work.
  
• Maybe incorporate some suspense - don't let all of the description come out in the first sentence
  
• Try not to use any temporal connectives to start off a sentence.
  

Here's an example of this weeks descriptive writing task -

The brisk rain fell upon me, it was the opposite of blissful - damp, cold and wet! It's winter.

Apologies for the shabby and short example! I need some time to think!
