Personal Wordage-#5

When I write an essay or story I like to make sure the reader vividly understands what I am saying. I want the story to be well thought out, informative and depending on the tone have a type of feeling that the reader can sense. In order for me to do this I have to use descriptive wordage. As I may call it personal wordage. I like using descriptive words to help the reader understand the context of what I am telling through the text and help make the interpretations flow better.
Ever since I was younger I was told that when using descriptive words, it should help paint a picture in a person's mind. By using these words, a writer can display a tone, setting and formulate the likeness of characters in the text. It is a process that helps capture a person's imagination and maybe they can come up with their own story. I like making a person feel like they are part of the story and as I read I like to feel as if I am in the story or part of it.
I feel that by using descriptive writing in my stories I make it my own. It is my personal stamp that makes my writing unique. I am sure I'm not the only one that uses this idea but it seems to help me come up with stories to write about and topics to discuss. I am comfortable using this technique. Sometimes I use big words or intellectual words to make the story sound smarter or well explained. I make sure that I am able to understand my writing and is visually intriging before I finish the work.
To be honest I don't write many stories or essays but that is the way I like to do them. Without being descriptive and informative I would not be interested at all. The attention grabbers are what I like to read and hopefully it is what many other people like to read too. The opinion of the audience is important because they are the people who are going to say if they like your work or not. If the work is not appealing than the writing technique needs to be changed or presented in a different manner. I like knowing the opinion of the audience as it helps me with my writing and helps me know what they like to read and what not to read.
