Sometimes I feel that I do not spend enough time on description in my writing, so I want to try something new. Up to this point, the main focus of my writing is the plot and the movement of the story, but I feel that this might hurt readers' ability to immerse themselves in my story. In my head I can see, hear, feel, and smell the surroundings, but my readers cannot experience what is in my head, only what I put on paper. So I need to make a change.
I am thinking of starting a recurring blog topic where I write a few descriptive paragraphs focusing on setting the scene or describing feelings/emotions/experiences in a sensory way. I'm thinking I might call it "Sensory Saturdays" (a little hokey, but this is a blog, right?).
This Saturday will be my first Sensory Saturday, and I want to invite anyone interested to reply to that blog either with tips or comments on what I wrote or with your own senses-driven passage. I think that it would be great if we could get a weekly writing group where writers can work on developing their ability to write descriptively.
