How The 5 Senses Make Stories Seem Real

A picture is only worth a thousand words if you can’t write. And

with that extreme statement I am sure I have managed to annoy a
good number of photographers. I love looking at beautiful pictures,
though. I can stare at them for hours. A single image can tell a
story. It can convey emotion. It can transport you. It can captivate
you.
But I am a writer and I don’t have a camera. How can I do this
with writing? How can I evoke that kind of emotion? How can I
fascinate my audience?

A photograph is an image. So I use my eyes – my sense of sight. If

it is a landscape with a snow-capped mountain and a lake and pine
trees, I remember when I was near a snow-capped mountain. I
remember the reflection on the water. I remember feeling the cold
wind. The smell of the pine trees. I remember who was with me.

My senses make sense of my surroundings. Profound, right? When

I write using my characters’ senses, my reader should be able to
interpret the surroundings I describe.

Here are five examples from my own little library:

1. Smell: ‘The inn was filled with olive harvesters, vineyard
workers, carters, farmers and their families. The sweat of
their labours mixed with the smells of smoke from the
fireplace, wet wool drying and dung on their boots.’ (The
2. Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland)
3. Sight: ‘…the clouds broke apart and sunlight brushed with a
light sienna the stone arches and crenellations of Porta
Romana, the southern entrance to the city of Florence. Ochre
buildings with red tiled roofs and shutters the colour of
cinnamon or basil lined the road.’ (The Passion of
Artemisia by Susan Vreeland)
4. Sound: ‘In the past, fall began with a collective rattle in the
tree tops; then, in an endless profusion, the leaves snapped
off and came floating down, circling and flapping in updrafts
like the world shedding itself.’ (The Virgin Suicides by
Jeffrey Eugenides)
5. Touch: ‘I stood mesmerized by the heat and luscious scent
until the rain interfered, running its icy fingers down my
back, forcing me back to life.’ (The Hunger Games by
Suzanne Collins)
6. Taste: ‘I took a sip. The tiny bubbles melted in my mouth
and journeyed northward into my brain. Sweet. Crisp.
Delicious.’ (The Fault in our Stars by John Green)
