The Little Things: Exploring Sensory Detail to Bring Your Characters to Life
The world around us is filled with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch—a richness that is vital for your characters, whether real or imagined. Specific details from our experience, like the sound of a loved one’s laugh or the logo on a faded band t-shirt, can bring your characters to life. In this prompt-driven online webinar, we will explore how writing about sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell is key to creating compelling characters. We’ll look at examples from published work and try some of our own. Afterward, you’ll have techniques that you can immediately apply to your own work.
