Writing Tip


Have characters use their five senses. These senses include what a character sees, hears, touches, tastes and smells. To expand sensory details and freshen the narrative go consider a character walking on a windy beach. Do the waves crash onto the shore? (hear) Do grains of sands sting her cheek? (touch) Is the air salty? (taste) Is there a whiff of oiled bodies baking in the sun? (smell)
