Narrative:
Tone: Is is serious? Lighthearted? Bitter?
-- Make sure your choices in diction MATCH your Tone
Sensory Language: Which senses do you want to appeal to?
Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste, Smell -- You need to recreate that smell, sound, etc.
Sight: Her raven black hair, still dripping after the shower, left a cascade of water spots
trickling down the back of her white t-shirt.
Sound: We woke up sluggish, tired from last night's ruckus. Our new puppy restlessly
wandered around the house, his nails clicking over the wood floor like tap-dancing beetles,
and his incessant, sharp-pitched whining filled all the corners of the house.
Taste: Ugh, I hate when the sour taste of sweat drips into my mouth during practice.
Touch: Her sweater was so soft, reminding me of a velvety smooth bunny or a wispy cotton
ball. I was surprised it wasn't cashmere.
Smell: I made sure to chew gum before my interview. I love the smell of minty breath;
that sweet, icily refreshing scent is always sure to calm me down and help me focus.
