Both of these chapters were very helpful for me, but more especially chapter 5. I think that I really struggle with both under-describing and over-describing, and I need to find a balance. I think that the ideas and examples in Chapter 5 were very useful in helping me do that. Something that I have never thought about before and that will be extremely beneficial to me in the future was the idea of thinking about the five senses when writing descriptions. I believe that will spark my mind with ideas for writing because I often find myself using the same words to describe everything. Reflecting on the senses will help my mind ‘branch out’.
Chapter 4 helped me think about utilizing sources and how to correctly bring them into my writing, which is not something that I have done often and it will greatly assist my writing in many areas.

Overall I think that reading these two chapters has (hopefully) increased my confidence and ability in writing.
