What do you hear?

Hey all sorry I haven’t posted in a while but I’m still sick. Other then that all is well. A while ago, I had post that my agent wanted me to use three out of the five senses in every scene. Then the problem was describing smells in the correct way. I’ve gotten better at this but I’m still working on it.

This post is about hearing. My agent mentioned that in an entire chapter I never described anything that my main character heard. It got me thinking that I really don’t describe sounds that often. So, in this book I’m really trying to remember all the senses.

How about you? Do remember to describe sounds and I don’t mean, ‘I heard a gun shot.’ I mean the sounds of nature, people and elements. I thought I’d just remind everyone to pay attention to the sounds around your main character. Remember you heard it here first.

Merry Yule

Okay I’ve been sick for three weeks and I finally decided to go see the doctor. I have a sinus infection. So now, with some medicine I’ll get better. My house is decorated in all of its Yule beauty. Although I just don’t care for the season much anymore.

Now that I’m getting better soon I can concentrate on my book. Which by the way has slow to a crawl. No word yet from the publishing houses so everyone keep me in your thoughts. Merry Yule.
