Well then let's see,
You walk into a garden it bursts with countless colors of flowers and variations. It excites your senses with wonderful smells. What do you do

WRONG
You describe how the scents and the colors impact you. Describe it, point out the things that aren't mentioned, the vines the way they crawl up the gazebos DESCRIBE EVERYTHING YOU CAN.

Well... it's a start, what you have a problem with is detail mostly. Taking the time to really take in all the stuff you see, and put it down. Wrighting is all about creativity, and so you need to use your creative prowess to good use.

But i don't think that, i'll help you, look, i'll help you with the conversations of your characters. p. ex:
"Hey, what's up?" He said as he looked to the cat. That's an example, when you are going to talk, use "", and puntuation signs, "?" "!" "," "." and detail your messages, "He said looking at the cat" That's what your character is doing while talking, know what i mean? |

OK, furry, I'm going to give you some advise. There is one vital key to any kind of story writing, and that is detail. It's really not that hard to learn, you just need to stop looking at it as a major thing, it's not. Detail is like cents. Keeping saving the cent coins, don't think about the dollars, just put those 5's and 10's and 20's aside, and before you know it, you've got dollars piling up.
When writing details, try to focus on one thing at a time. Let's start with something simple, and don't fret too much over grammar, that can be worked on at a later date. I want you to describe a rose for me as best you can. Don't think of it as a whole rose, try and break it into the parts that make it a rose. How does it smell? What do the petals look like? And so forth.

I've tried this already Silv.... your metaphor is good, though I don't think it will get through to him.

Negativity like that does not help.

Well, does it smell sweet? sour? Strong? Weak?

And that is a good start. See? It's not that hard.
OK, we'll move onto something else.
You're in a room, furry, and there are two people there. I want you to describe them. What are they doing? What are they wearing? Are they sitting? Standing?
Go for it.

Vague. You need to remember that you are trying to paint a picture with your words. Think of what else they are wearing. Are they talking softly? loudly? Where in the room are they? Is there a table or chair near them, perhaps? Are they maybe enjoying a drink?
