How can I create a vivid scene in my writing?

How can I create a vivid scene in my writing?

To create a vivid scene, focus on sensory details. Describe what characters see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.

Can you give me an example of a scene with strong sensory details?

Sure! Imagine a bustling market: the vibrant colors of fruits, the aroma of spices, the chatter of vendors, and the warmth of the sun.

What techniques can I use to show rather than tell?

Use actions, dialogue, and sensory descriptions to show emotions and settings. For example, instead of saying 'she was scared,' describe her trembling hands and wide eyes.

How do I balance description with action in a scene?

Interweave descriptions with action. For instance, as a character walks through a forest, describe the rustling leaves while they navigate the path.
