Wonderful writing advice about using the five senses to create vivid scenes in your novel.
Tips that I would add are:
- Use specific details so readers can imagine the scene
- Don’t limit descriptions to the setting. People move and touch and see while they’re interacting.
- Don’t describe every single thing in painstaking detail all the time, because this bogs down the story and overwhelms readers with boring minutiae.

You’ve heard it said that writers should write using all their senses. Here’s why. A scene without sensory detail or imagery created by elaborating details is just a sentence. Create scintillating scenes by inserting unforgettable word images in the reader’s mind. Click to Tweet #amwriting #scintillatingscenes
