LEVEL 2: A BASIC PARAGRAPH
She had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tapered and she had a burnished complexion. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she blew gently on her carmine-red fingernails. It was a pleasure to see her flowing, moon shadow-black hair. Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at me over her puffy, heart shaped lips. Her lips tasted strawberry sweet when I kissed her. She had a bouncy personality and a sugary voice, which I adored. Not content to be just another drone, she wore vibrant clothes.
LEVEL 3: CREATIVE PARAGRAPHS
I first met her on a holiday to an exotic country. The moons delicate light had just turned the world a-flame with silver when I saw her. She had a comely figure which was stem-thin. Her curvilinear waist didn’t surprise me as much as the saffron tint to her complexion. She must be a native, I thought to myself. Her crescent shaped eyebrows inclined slightly as she saw me staring at her. I yelped at being caught. Her languid eyelashes of velvet-black blinked once slowly, as if to invite me over.
When I came closer, I noticed her scrolled ears and her elegant nose. She nuzzled me with her nose and I couldn’t believe it. It was the custom for her people, I reckoned. It was love at first light. Her luminous, heavenly-white teeth flashed as she pawed at me with her film star nails. Her hair was a glorious tumble of star beam-gold and her virility-brown eyes set my heart a-thump. Her oxbow lips positively drooled with goodness. Oh! Those sugar candy-sweet lips, her elegant personality, all mesmerized me. She may not have had a saccharine voice or retro clothes, but what do you expect when two Labrador pups meet in a dog pound?
LEVEL 4: ADVANCED PARAGRAPHS
Her Amazonian figure sat well on her wafer-thin body. She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes. A sculptor could not have fashioned her seraph’s ears and pixie’s nose any better.
When she broke into a smile, her beguiling, oyster-white teeth lit up the room. It could jolt you like an electric current when that megawatt smile gave you her full attention. Filed to perfection, her Venus-red fingernails ran through her nougat-brown hair. Spools of it plunged around her photogenic face and hid a swan’s neck, elegant and smooth. I loved her nebulous, Eden-green eyes which were a-sparkle with the ‘joie de vivre’. They were like two beryl-green jewels melted onto snow.
Her calamine-pink lips tasted like rose petals. It surprised me that they were plump and botox-boosted as she had a demure, timorous personality. She whispered to me in a dulcet voice as sweet as any songbird. Her voguish clothes still kept captive an aroma redolent of cinnamon and meadow-fresh mint. It lingered in the room long after she had gone.
Best Descriptive Writing Sites 
I got my copy and I spent about an hour an day, two or more when I’m off work, just drinking in the knowledge you have bestowed upon me. This book is really like writing with the god as it enhances my writing and making one feeling divine (see simile 🙂 ). I hope you come out with more volumes because I tell all my writing buddies about you book.
Thank you so much, Muhammed. Your opinion means a lot to me as you are the first person to comment on my book! I am thrilled you love it and I am currently working on a book that encourages students to think for themselves regarding descriptive writing/grammar/poetry and life skills. At the moment, I am working 8 hours a day at it and I hope to have it finished in January/February. It is specifically for 12/13 years old and I will follow it up with 2 more books for older children. I will email you a free copy when I am finished if you wish. By the way, is there any chance you could post that comment on Amazon for me? It would really help the book sales as I am not on Facebook or Twitter. In return, I will email you a sneak preview of my new book immediately. Thanks again for the gratifying comment and I will send you that email now.
I made a comment on Amazon just now. I would love to have a copy of your next book. It will be a great help to young writings that I will mentor in the future.
Thanks, Muhammed. As I said in the email to you, top man. I sent you the part of the book that has a formula for success for children. I hope you like it or I’ll have to rip it up and start again! Appreciate the fact you took the time to post your comment on Amazon. God bless all clever and good looking people! Cheers for now. Liam.
I am a teacher of english literature as well as a writer myself. Have to tell you what younger doing is awesome…I would love to read more stuff from you.
Hi Shaili. I hope you are well. Thanks for the kind comment. I promise to keep uploading material for teachers/students and I’m thrilled you found the site so beneficial. At the moment I’m working on ‘Describing the Sea’ for the blog and it should be available in a few days. I hope that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks again and I wish you the best for the future. Liam.

Dude you are one awesome person……Your essays have fuelled literally all my English exams.
You saved me a lot of trouble.
You keep on talking about your book Writing with stardust….I would love to buy it. But i dont know where to find it. I am live in India please guide me.
Hi Guarav: Thanks very much for the complimentary post. I’m very glad that you found my essays helpful. Writing with Stardust is available on Amazon.com (America) and Amazon.co.uk. I priced it as low as I could as I am aware people have to pay postage on it. I hope you enjoy it immensely if you decide to buy it. Best of luck with your writing, Guarav, and thanks again for the cheerful comment. Liam.
Hi Liam, your site is brilliant, really informative, im writing a book but struggle to find the right descriptive words but your posts have given me ideas! I’ve ordered your book ‘Writing with Stardust’ and im looking forward to it arriving! thanks again. Nina.
Hi Nina:
How are you? It’s very gratifying to get a comment like this. I appreciate the gesture and I hope you go on to complete your book and that it sells millions! Keep the faith because we all know by now that writing is a lonely occupation. Best of luck and I hope you really enjoy ‘Writing with Stardust’. Thanks again and ‘bye for now. Liam.
hello dear ,how are you ,i want to tell you Thanks so much for your books ,wish you success .please share me books for this email hayatothman@yamil.com
Hello.
I honestly don’t know how to thank you for making me feel better with descriptions of so many things that I have been struggling to write for years. I am in the process of completing my first novel but I’m still in the phase of editing the whole thing (grammar, words usage, vocabs, descriptive, etc) at the moment. For the record, I absolutely adore your writing, very very much and I am going to order your book as soon as possible. My lecturer has recently introduced me to your website and I have been visiting it ever since. But I prefer the old traditional methods of where I could spend hours and hours reading a book rather than on my computer so getting your book is definitely one of my goal now. You are just so brilliant!!! I would love to get advises from you with description types of writing.
Regards,
Nurul
Hi Nurul: I hope you are well. Thank you very much for the nice comments. It’s great to see someone with such an appreciation of English and the power of descriptive language. Best of luck with your novel and I hope it goes really well for you. Email me at oflynn.liam42@gmail.com and I will send you my favourite chapter from ‘Writing with Stardust’ (Describing Autumn) and my favourite story (‘The Crime of the Ancient Mariner’). Cheers for now. Liam.
