Sound Words

As writers, one of the things we are tasked with is breathing life into the scenes we write. It’s a delicate balance. We need to give just enough description to make readers feel like they are in the same space as our character(s), but not overwhelm them with details that bog down the story. One of my favorite ways to pull readers into the worlds I create is through the five senses: sound, sight, taste, touch, and smell.
