The truth is the compass of writing, it is the place to which we are heading, line after line, and because the truth is the essence and purpose of the work of art, description was, and descriptive writing had this central importance in the work of fiction. It is not just a tool through which it tries to activate our ability to weave different worlds, as much as it is a performance that captures the meaning that the writer wants. Talking about descriptive writing cannot happen in isolation from the narrative truth, and if the truth is the end, then the description is the means, and it is a means that takes the rule of the end. This book is a follow-up to the path of one thread in the narrative architecture: the descriptive thread. We may think the matter is simple and secondary, compared to the other components of the novel, such as: the plot and characters are elements that may seem more essential and attractive to the interested writer, but the reality is that the descriptive line is welded to all elements of the novel, it is permeated with the person, the event, and the place, and it is difficult to achieve anything in the novel without it. It is often the dividing line between novel and writing, and between good literature and bad writing. Talking about descriptive writing, what a surprise! He talks about writing the whole novel. It is seeing the macro through the micro, and understanding the ocean from a drop of water.
