I have a problem with description, for some reason I’m like a blind woman when it comes to the first draft of my story. In my writing group they call it “White Room Syndrome”. Everyone is standing in a white room talking to one another. That’s bad, but since I am aware of it I’ve found a way to address it. Pictures! I do a Google image search for whatever it is I am looking for and go to town! Yup, I pick someone or someplace, just any photo that is close to what I am writing about and I’ve got my description.
