This is a group for descriptive writing, a gallery for you to bring your canvas and cover it in words that paint worlds we fall into and feel with all our senses. This group exists as a platform for writers to exercise and practice their pens in painting literal pictures, producing tangible images, weaving palpable visuals in the reader’s mind. Readers should be able to see and feel the story as if it is their own, whether they like that or not.
