Try to write

Its the best description in the thread so far. Not great but at least its something.

not OP but I get the suspsicion I have covert poseur tendencies. Sometimes I look at my journal entries and it seems like I just get carried away with doing something impressive and that I have no real authentic inner dialogue that isn't entirely prosaic.

The house was a quaint two story European cottage. It almost looked as if the top story was built upon the older foundation of the first floor, which was tinging with age. Slightly unkempt shrubbery laid around the steps leading to an arch, which preceded the front door. Vines slithered their way up parts of the building, giving it almost an ominous feeling.

this.
and this.

Entertaining writing should give the reader freedom to partially construct and interpret the world you made, unless you're writing textbooks, law, cookbooks, non-allegorical philosophy, things need literal, thorough, and stringent definition. Go back to reading mango and muh comics if you can't use your imagination or do exercises to increase your imagination if you're unsatisfied.

see like here you look like a retard for not understanding what Edwardian tudor revival architecture looks like. There are n shortcuts faggots.

I will kick your shit in you fucking aspie!

Don't worry about it user, you were clearly just showing how such a description would work. You made sense.

Absolutely. A lot of anons in this thread don't seem to realise that their weaknesses can become strengths. These things aren't necessarily weaknesses, they're unique aspects and views that can strengthen your work. Someone being an optimist doesn't mean their writing will "suffer from a lack of pessimism", it just means that their worldview will inform their writing. Don't fight it, use it.

Surely I'm not the only writer here that just flat-out doesn't describe stuff like this. The interesting thing in stories for me are the characters, emotions, theme, and story. None of that requires intense detailed description of physical elements. How the house specifically looks isn't as important as what it means to the protagonist, or how it makes them feel. Depends on your style of writing though, of course - Robert Jordan would spend a page describing the house, Martin a paragraph, Sanderson maybe a sentence.
