The tool that I used next from the Writer’s Toolbox was “selection/omission of details.” In the positive description, I go on saying that “The color and the shades of the sky seemed to be a part of a beautiful painting stretched across” and “The moonlight lit up the whole garden making everything shine like jewels” by intentionally leaving them out in my negative descriptions. Similarly, I left the description of the evening in the garden “The darkness of the night made everything terrifying.” in my positive paragraph.
