Use the 5 senses (unless you have a sixth sense)

See,Hear,Touch, Taste,Smell

Visualise what the character may look like and

describe him or her in a way that when the reader

reads it, they can almost imagine it, which means

your description is very descriptive

Is the object rough in texture? Smooth?

Jagged?How does it feel like?

Smell. How does the character smell like?

Smell? Fragrant perfume? Or your grandmother's house? Does it remind you of anything?

Does the character talk like a gangster?

Is it a robot who makes squeaking sounds all

the time?Different characters have unique sounds.

Try to use a variety of words like pin-drop, muffled, etc.

Does the character or object taste metallic?

Is it disgusting? Or is it just impossible to taste?
