Writing Exercise 1: "Blind Man's Eyes"

Description: Describe something, as if to a blind person, such that he or she can picture it accurately. If you want to take it a step further, take a sheet of paper and draw precisely what you've described and see how accurate and complete your description was.

Things To Watch: Learn which details are important and which aren't. Notice what you forgot, and what you assumed.

Other: Years ago I wrote one of my favorite short stories with this exercise...I hope to post it soon, if I can find the time to dig it out of my files and retype it!
