5 Senses and Words

Everyone has five senses. Sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste. When writing you need to tap into as many of those senses as possible.  The saying a picture says a thousand words needs to work in your favor as a writer. When writing you need to use as few words as possible to get you message across as vividly as possible.  You need to try for fewer than eight words per sentence and only two to three sentences per paragraph.  Dual coding is a great tool to tap into multiple senses for the audience at once. Let them do the work and put the story together.
