For over a month now, I've focused on the disasters that struck Central Philippines: the
7.1 Magnitude earthquake that hit Bohol and Cebu, Philippines, last October 15; and super typhoon
Haiyan that devastated a wider portion of Central Philippines, including the islands of Leyte, Samar, Cebu, Capiz, and others, last November 8.
This morning I'm going to take a break and look at an aspect of Creative Writing -- "
Sensual Writing." I'm not talking about sex, dear Readers, rather I'm referring to writing that engages the readers via the five senses. The writer allows the readers to see, smell, hear, feel, taste.
Sensual Writing ties in with a Rule in Creative Writing which is:
Show, Don't tell. The writer is giving details so that the Readers can more actively participate in the "fictive world" of the writer.
