"Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. Itâ€™s not just a question of how-to, you see; itâ€™s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing."

-- Stephen King
