4. What descriptive details will you
include to make your story lively and vivid? In particular,
who are the characters in the story and what is the setting
(where and when the story takes place)? Here is some advice
to consider
- Show don’t tell
- Evoke the senses (i.e., sight, hearing,
feeling/touch, taste, smell)
- Use vivid and accurate specifics
to make the story, characters, setting and events real and
rich. What are characters’ names? What do they look
like? Is there anything special or distinctive in their
appearance or in the way they sound or behave? When they
talk, which language do they use? What kind of vocabulary
or slang do they use? In stories, dialogue can enliven the
characters and action for listeners.
