So, you have this really cool place and you want to describe it. Or, alternatively, you have this really boring place and you feel obligated to describe it, but for some reason, you don't know how. In any case, how do you go about describing scenery?
The first step for many writers is to think of these landscapes from their calenders and then use the visuals for that. But... um... yeah.
What I like to do is take a place I love and have been too and think about what exactly I liked about it. What I like about places is not just the visuals... I also like the smells, the weather, the plants, the animals, and other things. And with this comes the sounds of birds chirping, the gentle whish of grass, and other little things. Think about these things, really think about the and why you like them so much. And then write about it.
You see, when you hear the tip, "Write what you know," this doesn't just refer to characters. It also refers to places. By writing about places you know about and using the sounds, smells, feelings, you can create a four-dimensional setting that adds to your story.
