I love descriptions that make your mind stretch - word-built images that you remember for a long time afterwards.<br /><br />Right now all I can come up with is "the taste of water", because I ate a sickly-sweet canned guava (NEVER buy canned guavas, by the way) and need to get that taste out of my mouth.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-84679212327193964702010-06-03T00:43:13.326-05:002010-06-03T00:43:13.326-05:00I liked this idea!

I love to weave the five senses into the very fabric of my stories. I have gone to great lengths to use sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to describe what is happening. I want the reader to experience the events in real time, and what better way than to paint a picture, appeal to their five senses.<br /><br />Stephen TrempAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-68435892621707859742010-06-02T18:51:15.806-05:002010-06-02T18:51:15.806-05:00That was wonderful!
