Kavi Puts You There
Kavi wrote, "The forest." He frowned. "That's just a word — you aren't really there yet." So he used his five senses: "I see tall green trees. I hear the crackling leaves. I smell the cool, piney air. I taste a sweet wild berry. I touch the rough bark." He grinned. "Now you're standing right beside me!" Writing with your five senses — see, hear, smell, taste, touch — puts the reader inside your words.
