The way to engage your readers and keep them absorbed sentence by sentence is to draw them into the tactile world of your story and evoke their sensations.
Not the fact that it's raining, as E.L. Doctorow said. But the feeling of being rained upon.
So, how do we evoke our readers' sensations?
That's what we'll dive into in today's episode.
On today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore:
- Why readers respond to sensory detail.
- How to select the right details for your scenes.
- How to evoke sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and smells.
