Writing alt text descriptions is good practice for writers.
Think about it. You reader can’t see what you’re describing. So you need to capture what conveys the meaning you want to get across. It’s the exact same skill, and will help you understand aspects of the descriptive process like choosing what to focus on.
If you’re a writer who wants practice, describe your own pictures, or follow the #Alt4Me and #Alt4You tags and write descriptions for those who can’t or won’t.
