Observing Minute Details

Go to a public area, observe keenly for fifteen minutes and jot down all the smallest details you notice.

Real-life observation is the foundation of vivid descriptions in writing. This exercise is about noticing the minute details that often go unnoticed in the bustle of life. Pay attention to people’s mannerisms, clothing details, the way the surroundings look and any other small details that stand out to you. This will help develop your ability to observe and make your descriptions in writing more realistic and relatable.
