Step-by-step technique
I don't know where I learnt this technique from but it helped me a lot. So, I hope this technique will help you too! :)First, you will have to find a sentence. (Preferably from one of the compositions you have written.)
Step 1 : Mother took out the cane and swayed it in front of Tom.
Next, strengthen the emotions of the characters.
Step 2 : Mother took out the cane and swayed it in front of Tom. Beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead as she fumed with rage.
Then, you have to improve your descriptions.
Step 3: Mother whipped out the cane and brandished it in front of Tom. Beads of perspiration trickled down his crimson forehead as Mother seethed with rage, her veins were almost void of blood circulation.
Next, you have to add in metaphors.
Step 4: Mother whipped out the cane which seemed like a venomous snake and brandished it in front of Tom as beads of perspiration trickled down his crimson forehead as Mother seethed with rage, her veins were almost void of blood circulation. "Explain! Why did you cheat in the examinations?" Mother barked at Tom, as she huffed and puffed like a steam train.
Finally, you will have to give your paragraph in step 4 a touch-up.
Step 5: Mother whipped out the cane which seemed like a venomous snake, attempting to make a fatal attack, every now and then. She brandished it in front of Tom as beads of perspiration trickled down his crimson forehead as Mother seethed with rage, her veins were almost void of blood circulation. "Explain! Why did you cheat in the examinations?" Mother barked at Tom, as she huffed and puffed like a steam train. Mother seemed like an interrogator, burying Tom under a heap of questions. Tom wore a blanched expression. What would Mother do next?
It is a bit difficult to develop your sentences at first. But if you do this frequently, like maybe thrice weekly, you can do this naturally and you will have no problem in writing paragraphs like in step 5. Happy writing!
