A good starting point maybe this one about Writing what you know

After studying this course, you should be able to:

• ~ articulate the notion of 'write what you know'
• ~ write 'blind' descriptions of known objects and note new observations
• ~ have an enhanced ability to list sensory perceptions
• ~ write short texts about a personal memory of either a place or a character.
