Chapter 5 focuses on the description aspect of storytelling. A couple ways to go about this that I found stuck out to me most are the five senses and specificity. I can visualize the way that they can work together to make readers envision the story unfolding. The five senses is my favorite strategy to read and to write. It is so fun and paints a great picture for readers. What makes it even greater is adding specificity to it. So instead of saying, “The little girl’s braids fell into the brownie batter.” You could say something more powerful like, “The little girl’s soft dutch braids accidentally swam in the gooey rich chocolate brownie batter. The batter left a lingering smell of the uncooked ingredients in her hair for days.” It is truly remarkable how much of a difference specificity can make. The first version seems too boring but the second one can really draw a reader in. Another couple ways to improve your storytelling is by being aware of description traps by avoiding cliches and to expand your vocabulary using similes and metaphors.
