Here's a few writing tips I came up with that might help as you begin your journey as a writer. These tips might help even if you have already been writing or have become a published author.
Writing Tip from K. R.
Bailey:
Use the five senses to make
your writing come alive. Seems like it’s real easy to describe what the hero or
heroine see, but using the other senses makes it so much better and brings your
readers right into the scene.
Here is an example:
SIGHT: A beautiful lake
nestled amidst tall pines.
SMELL: The pungent scent of
pine is mixed with the smell of nearby campfires.
SOUND: A robin sings from the
top of an aspen tree, and the buzz of honey bees fill the air as they seek the
nectar of the myriad of wildflowers lining the path to the lake.
TOUCH: The air is cool and
moist against our skin.
TASTE: The sweet, chocolatey
crunch of smores heated on the campfire melt in our mouth.
By adding all five senses, I
believe it builds a more rounded picture and it’s easy to relate to what our
characters are experiencing.
Create scenes that come
alive. Make your readers experience what your hero and heroine are by using all
of the five senses.
Happy Reading!
