So in my rough draft it's a bumpy ride between sensory highs and lows, because sometimes I remember and overdose!

I love when someone delivers an unexpected taste--like, you know, if that classroom TASTES of gym socks. ;-) Or mentioning the taste of tea, aftertaste of coffee, etc. What bugs me to no end is when someone think they have to describe the taste of, say, a donut. "The sweet doughiness, punctuated with powdered sugar . . ." Um, yeah. We've all eaten a donut. ;-) Things like that fall into the "too much" category for sure! Which is a good rule of thumb. If it's something we all know, mention, don't describe.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-78472001037742845022011-06-24T10:57:46.620-05:002011-06-24T10:57:46.620-05:00I always seem to forget about senses almost all to...I always seem to forget about senses almost all together at first. I usually remember sight though. One time, for my history class we had to write a story about the Mayflower using all 5 senses, and I remember how much I loved that story, and I eventually ended up winning first place in the contest, so that has helped me a lot in my writing, trying to remember to use as many of the sense I can. This post was incredibly helpful.Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233427055802677800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-21864605789022945662011-06-24T09:24:00.724-05:002011-06-24T09:24:00.724-05:00Absolutely, Alyson.

Because I am on first draft, can I write the basic skeleton of the conversation and add the body later.
