Have you ever been to a 5D-cinema?
I'm referring to these theatres that rattle your chair, spray your nose with a stale scent, and when somebody on the screen sneezes, it sprinkles your face… Yeah, they are basically legal torture chambers people pay entry for.
So why are they such a fun experience?
It's because these theatres feel more real than your ordinary cinema. And that's because they talk to more of our senses, not just two (seeing and hearing).
Anything that captures our senses feels a lot more real to us. It is through senses that we experience our entire world. We crave sensory experiences. That's why it's so much fun when the snot of that disgusting jailer troll hits us.
Senses are even deeply engrained in our language: We believe it when we see it. We hear it through the grapevine. Something smells fishy to us. We feel for somebody. We might show bad taste.
Ultimately, evoking sensory experiences with your descriptions is one of the most powerful talents you can have as a writer.
If you can do it well, your audience will eagerly suspend any disbelieve and completely succumb to the illusion you have prepared. You will draw your readers deeply into your story and make them feel like they are right beside your characters. They will ultimately truly care about what is going on.
That's the most obvious one. Can you imagine even the greenest newbie not describing to the reader what he is seeing?
In fact, many writers put too much weight on this sense, at the expense of the others. Don't overdo the visual description! You don't have to teach your reader every single detail, it's much better to leave something up to her imagination.
Bad. That's telling, not showing.
Much better. We have now put a colorful image in the mind's eye of the reader. The image has a color with very specific connotations.
We have also used the word "bright," which is yet another quality to make your visual descriptions more interesting: Shadows are eerie. Spotlights mean heightened pressure. Dimmed, soft lights can be romantic.
You can add a lot of mood to a scene or to a detail by describing light.
Hearing is used fairly often as well. You will mostly describe a sound when the situation draws special attention to it: A door creaks, your protagonist turns her head.
But don't forget that a sound can also be used for a strong effect! You can employ it to get on your reader's nerves, to alarm or to relax her. Think of the soothing babble of a little brook. How comforting, isn't it? Cut to the shrieking sound of nails scratching over a chalkboard. You might even be close to goosebumps now.
Your reader will hate you when you employ an effect like this. And he should, strong reactions are excellent! In the end, he will love you for putting him through all of that tingling torture.
On top of this, you can use sounds for a serious shock effect. How often in your life have you been frightened by a sudden sound? Certainly a lot more often than by any other sense alarming you. Those little acoustic shock effects are deeply engrained in your reader's unconscious as well.
If you want to know how to unsettle your reader with your writing style, check out this post about how to write thrilling action scenes.
Now we are getting into territory that's neglected way too often. Many writers like to forget smell, because when they are busily visualizing their scenes, it just doesn't come to them naturally.
But smell can have a huge impact on your reader. To be more precise, the memory of the smell you are describing will have a huge impact on her. Smell is the sense that is most directly connected to the memory part of our brains (through the so-called "olfactory bulb;" great word, isn't it?).
In your stories, you don't get the opportunity to demonstrate how something tastes very often. You couldn't let your protagonist quickly lick the mask of the guy with the chainsaw, just to report that it tastes… salty?
However, on the rare occasions your character puts something in his mouth or licks something, be sure to describe the taste. Certainly your character (and your reader) will pay attention, because taste is a sense that's bound to get a very strong reaction.
After all, taking something into your mouth or touching it with your tongue is a very intimate act; it's a personal thing that goes deep into the private sphere. Think of your character taking a beating and biting the hard and dusty curb or tasting a lovingly prepared dish of pulpy monkey brain. Tastes like that are hard to swallow.
You can also describe an emotion as so dense, your character can "taste" it in his mouth. Intense fear is sometimes described as a "taste of copper." It's like the feeling is so strong it finally becomes physical. And what does success "taste like," can you tell me…?
Finally, we have touch. It's a very sensual sense as well.
Like with tasting, be sure to describe it whenever you get a chance. When your character touches something, tell your audience what it feels like and draw them in. How pleasant does the soft fur of a kitten feel? And how uncomfortable is the stingy hail of a thunderstorm? You have all the power to make your readers live, love and suffer with your figures.
You can use touch especially well to describe the nature of objects or people: The silky smooth feeling of a light summer dress, grandpa's grey and raspy beard. Just make sure you have a reason to describe how it feels; somebody touching it should be the trigger that allows you to explain.
So there you have it, all of the five senses. The sixth sense is then best suited to a Bruce Willis flick.
Post your mini-scene in the comments below! I want to see you guys applying the content of this post. You will remember it much better, if you use it right away. Give it a try!

The ratchet of of a pneumatic drill pierced the air. Old oil clung to every surface leaving it greasy. It's acrid smell clung to your clothes. The taste of battery acid filled the air. Bob leaned over the engine bay of a 1969 Camaro, black with patches of gray primer. His dark hair slicked back, he was an Adonis of the shop and everyone knew it. When he smiled the air seemed brighter. Every time he said "Trust me" he meant he was going to bend you over a table.
Great use of senses, Bryan! I was standing in that car repair shop for a moment, and could feel and smell that typical grease.
Now who wants to go for the other prompts?
Great reminders, Alex, and thanks for the cheat sheet.
I hope it's okay to reblog this helpful post (with the source link, of course).
Hi John, no problem, as long as you mention the source and link to the post.
Thank you, Alex. I always have a link to the original source for readers to click on, as the text in my reblogged post is usually just a short extract to give a taster of the full content available at source.
Thank you for this helpful post. It make sense(s)!
If only more writers whose words open hearts were coaches and teachers.
Thanks for the inspiration, Alex and sharing your gift.
Ha ha… And thank you for your kind words, Keri!
Thanks. Here's my go at it.
Eleanor opened her eyes. On the ceiling a three dimensional piece of art resembling Liberty's crown was the first thing she noticed. She crept out of the elevator and followed a family into the enclosed room and out onto the open deck. New York City at this height made Eleanor's heart race. Skyscrapers, bridges and parks. This is New York. Clouds almost close enough to touch. But she didn't look too long because as the clouds floated, it felt like the Empire State Building was swaying in the breeze. Eleanor immediately threw up.
Very unobtrusive, Alice, very unobtrusive…! I had to smirk while reading this, your scene is bursting of sensual description. And it does immediately make us feel, hear, taste and smell everything (and everybody…). Well done!
Thank you Alex. I appreciate your blog and all your tips. I don't participate very much. But I do read it.
Today of all days, the car repair shop is the last place I want to be. The heat of the sun feels as though my bones are scotching. I take a deep breath my lungs find no relief. I walk into the garage and it was like nails on the chalkboard rattling my nerves as they grind metal. The mix of oil and gas was so strong I can taste it.
The mechanic directs me to the office to pay for my oil change. I pay my bill, get my keys. I can almost feel the ecstasy of my air conditioner.
Great to see you doing the exercise, Tina. Oh, that oily smell…!
LOL I have a tough skin. I can take criticism. How else can I learn?
Use the same tense always ("is"/"was").
You also use senses in a rather abstract way, as metaphors or imaginative images (bones; nails on chalkboard; ecstasy of air conditioner). Just keep it simple and describe by detail; that's more effective.
The bakery was filled with smells Matthew had never dreamed existed; cinnamon with notes of vanilla, the sweetly bitter tang of rum, and the yeasty fragrance of fresh dough. Saliva filled his mouth, threatening to wash out the scent of lemon zest he could feel lingering on his tongue.
Displayed behind the glass counter were a great assortment of pastries. A giant frosted chocolate cake on one corner, honey glazed cookies on the other, with jelly-filled doughnuts, banana bread sprinkled with crushed, melted brown sugar, and a mountain of syrup-soaked raisin pancakes in between.
The server who met his gaze smiled at him, a dimple appearing on her smooth cheek. "Would you like something to try?" Her voice was melodious, the cadences like perfectly timed bells ringing in sweet harmony. He reached for his wallet, the well-worn leather familiar to his fingers as he opened it.
The server chuckled. "You don't need to pay," she huskily whispered, handing him a chocolate-soaked croissant in a crisp white napkin. He reached out to take it, the sillage of her perfume almost as intoxicating as the vanilla air freshener on the counter.
"Really now? What about the second?" He bit into the croissant, his mouth filling with the smooth texture of the chocolate, the astringent bitterness catching at the back of his throat.
She fingered the fine silver necklace at her throat, its glint as attractive as the index finger twisting it. "We'll just have to see," she winked, her eyes as dark as the cinnamon stick on the giant frosted cake.
that was a one shot. and it was exhilarating. thanks, Alex. your blog is always a great place to visit and get motivation as a writer.
Mmmmh, tasty… You know you have done well when your reader starts salivating and wants to bite into your bakeries… I did.
My ancient MG gasped and sputtered to a halt just as we reached the ramp to the shop. I got out and walked in, inhaling the intoxicating scent of burning Castrol. Peering through the haze of cigarette smoke, I saw the outline of my favorite mechanic. Total darkness couldn't obliterate anyone his size. It always amazed me that he could fold himself into any of the tiny cars that he worked on.
"That sounds nice", I replied calmly, despite my heart pounding like a jackhammer in my throat.
Nice one. You are not overusing sensual description, but rather incorporating it seemlessly into the scene. And you seem to have a thing for smell.
The scene reads like it was taken out of a story that previously existed.
As the silent metallic doors whooshed together, the rhythmic clickety undoing sounds of his zipper found my right ear, the one with tiny red rosebuds tattooed along the edge. Mingled tendrils of sweet pipe tobacco and woody cognac competed with his expensive cologne, a musky fragrance like that of an ancient mariner. My heart beat like a frightened rabbit, cheeks flushed hot and scarlet, while both knees threatened to melt like butter on a hot day. The radiant warmth of his young, lean body drew mine like a magnet, as a distant flamenco band was dancing under the moonlight…or was that the Musak from the elevator? He gasped lightly as he inhaled, close enough to my lusting ear for me to sense the cool flow of air as it past. His warm exhale brushed my earlobe, caressing each tiny rosebud and defeating any resistance remaining. Just as I felt myself falling vertigo like into the abyss of his allure, our elevator stopped rudely, muffled bell tones announcing our arrival and obedient shining doors flowing open, breaching the womb of my flight of sensual fantasy.
Oh la la, Kathryn, that's a very fitting addition to the post, and a great example of how to create a steamy, sensual scene by (among other techniques) using senses.
Sounds, color, scents, breath of air, touch, many forms of consistency, surface and texture, warmth, light… it all fits together beautifully.
How much description by using senses is too much? What constitutes the "Show, Don't Tell" rule when it comes to the senses? I know too much would take the reader away from the main story and, dare I say it, bore them to tears. What is the right amount?
Yes, it would bore them to tears. So how much is too much?
As a rule of thumb: As long as you don't describe senses just because you like to describe senses, as long as you have something new to tell your reader, you are good (and of course, the more compelling your descriptions are, the longer you can go…).
But the real answer is: You will develop a very good feeling (or should I say 'sense') for it with writing. Hard rules for writing are always very abstract, but when you practice describing senses, you will at some point develop a great instinct for what's good, what's bad, and what's too much.
Since no one has attempted the boar hunt, here it goes, but with my twist.
The boar had been running rampage through the castle gardens threatening the safety of all; the laird, Alaric, ordered the children and women to stay in the keep until they dispatched the beast. That was hours ago, and the Summer heat increased as the sun made its progress successively passing through the Eastern and Southern arrow slits in the circular stone wall. A boar could rip a man to death. The coppery stench of fear arose from the children clinging white-knuckled to their mothers as the endless hours slowly passed. The salty smell perspiration mingled with the aroma of fresh bread baking and stewing beef and vegetables in the kitchen for the midday meal as the heat increased intensity with each passing minute.
Miriam sorted through the pungent herbs she would need to treat the men should any be wounded in the fight. Focusing on the work of gathering clean linens and making salves kept her focused as she waited for her husband. Her daughter laid her head against her knee; Miriam ran her hand over the silky hair releasing the scent of lavender. She could see the strain of worry stretching her face into a mask of despair. The girl was old enough to remember the last boar hunt and the ravaged and bloody men dragging themselves home to be patched up by the women.
She surveyed her people to gauge the tension. The old women were calmly mending as they instructed the older girls learning the skills needed to run a household creating an island of serenity in a sea of worry. She considered serving the meal, but the thought of eating turned her stomach the babe she carried delivered a kick making her wince. This one had to be Alaric's heir. If the men didn't arrive soon, she'd have to feed the crowd; perhaps the meal would distract them from their interminable wait.
Suddenly the door of the keep crashed open; everyone scrambled to their feet ready to run or fight. "Children!" her voice broke as she yelled, "Climb the stairs! The rest of you to me!" The women drew their knives as they surrounded the retreating boys and girls to young to defend themselves.
Miriam breathed out her relief as she sheathed her dagger, ordered the meal to be served on the long trestle tables, and ran the few steps to her husband, embracing him. The smell of dirty, sweaty, wet wool never smelled so good.
Oh that wild, wild beast!! That's a lot of tension and atmosphere built up, before we finally breathe out in relief. A moody scene that comes alive with a lot of inner and outer detail.
I thought that some of the description of senses were fitting, and some were in there without being motivated by much. Loved the last sentence though, this is where sense and story and our personal experiences come together at their best.
I'm still learning my craft, especially showing not telling. Thanks for the feedback.

Modern Survival
Prepare For Election Chaos Now
(Modern Survival.org) – 2020 has been anything but ordinary and more than three months remain in the year. With the presidential election a little more than over 40 days away, things will likely get crazier. There's no better time to prepare for election related turmoil and chaos than now.
The divide between Republicans and Democrats has never been greater with each having their own set of views regarding what may happen if their candidate doesn't win.
For instance, those on the Left claim a Trump victory will bring fascism to the US. On the flip-side of the coin, those on the Right claim a Biden win, amounts to the creation of a socialist or communist state.
As the saying goes, there are at least three sides to every conflict, and the truth is we're looking at a SHTF situation on election day regardless which side wins. You should be aware of the closest polling location. Whether you're voting in person or by mail, these places will likely be hotspots for conflict.
If you choose to vote in person, it's recommended you do so early on before the bulk of voters arrive, typically around 11 a.m. Remember, these locations should be avoided unless voting due to the chance of violence erupting.
It may be wise to take into account the time frame between the election and the inauguration — be prepared for whatever may come. That period covers about 11 weeks, giving a general idea of the amount of supplies you could need.
For all we know, there will be civil unrest on an unheard-of scale during those weeks, and it's always best to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Whether you're a prepper or not, food and water are basic needs when it comes to survival. It's in your best interest to make sure you have an optimal amount of both, roughly three weeks worth at the very least. Water recommendation is one gallon per person per day.
The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to prepare for a SHTF situation. Hopefully, nothing will happen, but the way 2020 has gone so far, anything's possible.
Here's to Your Survival!

OSCE-supported regional workshop on the use of open data and new digital technologies to prevent and combat corruption held in Skopje
Government representatives, civil society members, and open data experts from Eastern and South Eastern Europe emphasized the importance of the use of open data and new digital technologies in preventing and combating corruption at an OSCE-organized workshop on 2 and 3 December 2019 in Skopje.
The Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) organized the workshop in collaboration with the Southeast European Cooperation Initiative (SECI).
Participants shared examples of good practices on how to leverage digital tools for their anti-corruption and good governance agendas. They discussed different approaches of addressing corruption through digitalization of public services, accessibility of open data, monitoring and evaluation.
They also discussed how to draw on opportunities and address challenges found in the work and projects of public administration agencies and civil society in the region. Case studies and good practices from Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and others were presented.
'One of the most important aspects in relation to today's workshop, and how digitalization could contribute to the fight against corruption, is the 'Open Finance' platform, which was launched in North Macedonia in November this year,' said Head of the OSCE Mission to Skopje Clemens Koja.
'The platform allows citizens and interested stakeholders to freely access all financial transactions from the treasury. The Government's transparency and openness are not only declarative commitments, but a demonstration of its political will to make progress in this area,' said Koja. Transparency and openness are the first step in fighting corruption, and this is the shift we all want to see.'
Shannon Runyon, the Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in North Macedonia, said: 'Creating more open and reliable governance will not only advance the country's aspirations for Euro-Atlantic integration, but will strengthen the bond with citizens by making government more responsive to the needs of citizens; attracting businesses and investors who are looking to invest in countries with reliable rule of law and more transparent ways of doing business.'
The workshop was organized within the framework of the extra-budgetary project Promoting Good Governance and Enhancing Anti-corruption Efforts in the OSCE Area through the Use of Open Data and New Digital Technologies, funded by the United States Department of State.

Introduction to the National Cave Rescue Commission
by Anmar Mirza, National Coordinator
After it's inception in 1979, the NSS's National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC) quickly developed into the foremost authority for cave rescue techniques and training. Every person involved with the NCRC is a volunteer, and NCRC courses attract a wide spectrum of students, including cavers and members of first responder units in cave-rich regions. The NCRC conducts several courses, including an annual workshop that offers eight days of the best training, knowledge, and experience available for cave rescue techniques. The courses are always evolving and improving to keep up with new techniques and equipment. The NCRC was chartered by the NSS as a training and resource coordination body and as such has become the premier cave rescue training organization in the world. (1:34:17) Download a copy (87 MB)
A Tour of the Most Cavernous
Limestone in North America
by Art Palmer, NSS 4059
Most of the largest American caves are located in a single limestone deposit that extends throughout most of the country. Because of variations in geology, its caves show a remarkable difference from place to place. These differences can be explained through some observations -- some simple, and some quite complex. In this presentation, Dr. Art Palmer, a renowned hydrogeologist, lecturer, and author of Cave Geology, explains where this 'cavers' heaven' can be located.(2:03:51) Download a copy (144 MB)
Cave Surveying
by George Dasher, NSS 16643
The art and science of mapping caves, while similar to land surveying, is much more complex in that it is three-dimensional, and in addition to its boundaries, a cave's internal features need to be described. Cave mapping has evolved greatly over the past half century, from crude pace-and-compass drawings to exquisitely detailed computer-generated masterpieces. George Dasher, an environ- mental geologist for the State of West Virginia, is one of the best-known cartographers around; he literally wrote the book on how to map caves, On Station, published by the NSS. George has also run the NSS Cartographic Salon for two decades, and won two medal awards for his maps. Here George explains the basics of how to commit the essence of a cave to paper.

Use of Geophysics
to Detect Solutional
Features in Karst
by Ron Green
Detection of solutional features (i.e., caves) in karst terrains can be daunting when there is no surface expression of the feature. A variety of geophysical tools has been used to assist in this effort. Direct current electrical resistivity has proven to be useful in the identification and characterization of karst features, although the technique is far from perfect. Principles of electrical resistivity, application of the technique, comparison with other geophysical techniques, and examples are provided in the webinar. (1:26:19) Download a copy (92 MB)
A Tour of West Virginia Caves and Karst
This presentation will describe the limestones, karst types, many karst areas, and some of the caves of West Virginia. West Virginia was one of two states where organized caving began in the United States, and which has more than 4500 documented caves at present. This presentation will also promote the West Virginia Speleological Survey, the non-profit, volunteer organization that is attempting to document these caves. (59:49) Download a copy (74 MB)

In renal physiology, reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron removes water and solutes from the tubular fluid (pre-urine) and returns them to the circulating blood. It is called reabsorption (and not absorption) because these substances have already been absorbed once (particularly in the intestines) and the body is reclaiming them from a postglomerular fluid stream that is on its way to becoming urine (that is, they will soon be lost to the urine unless they are reabsorbed from the tubule into the  peritubular capillaries. This happens as a result of sodium transport from the lumen into the blood by the Na+/K+ATPase in the basolateral membrane of the epithelial cells. Thus, the glomerular filtrate becomes more concentrated, which is one of the steps in forming urine.    Nephrons are divided into five segments, with different segments responsible for reabsorbing different substances.  Reabsorption allows many useful solutes (primarily glucose and amino acids), salts and water that have passed through Bowman's capsule, to return to the circulation. These solutes are reabsorbed isotonically, in that the osmotic potential of the fluid leaving the proximal convoluted tubule is the same as that of the initial glomerular filtrate. However, glucose, amino acids, inorganic phosphate, and some other solutes are reabsorbed via secondary active transport through cotransport channels driven by the sodium gradient.

Renin–angiotensin system:
 The kidneys sense low blood pressure.
 Release renin into the blood.
 Renin causes production of angiotensin I.
 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
 Angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone, ADH, and thirst.
 Aldosterone causes kidneys to reabsorb sodium; ADH increases the uptake of water.
 Water follows sodium.
 As blood volume increases, pressure also increases.

The Garrett Band
Canadian Progressive Rockers The Garrett Band Keep Powering On Day After "One More Day"
Thriving in the music industry, especially during the past few years, are much the same virtues needed in our day-to-day lives: purpose, knowledge, drive, ingenuity, adaptability… Leave it up to accomplished Canadian progressive rock quartet The Garrett Band to both encapsulate and demonstrate all of these, and more, in their powerful and moving new single, "One More Day".
Check it out here on YouTube:
The second single release from the band's fourth studio recording, Sound Evolution, the exceptionally talented Vancouver-based artists don't shy away from shining the spotlight on some pretty tough subject matter across the five-track EP.

Powered Up West Coast Outfit The Garrett Band Issues "The Warning"
Fri May 07, 2021
Consider yourself on high alert in the most melodic way possible. Vancouver-based progressive rock quartet The Garrett Band have a hard rockin' heads up for everyone with their new single "The Warning", dropping April 24, 2021.
Arriving directly on the heels of their current top ten Cashbox Radio Top 20 Pick Hit, "Systematic", "The Warning" is the sonic harbinger for the band's upcoming fourth album due out on Canada Day. With commanding, staccato strings interwoven with powerful lead guitar and kick drum strikes supporting lead vocalist/songwriter Sean Garrett's soaring voice, the song pulls no punches about some big pitfalls.
"The Warning is about addiction, self-destruction and a change that needs to be made before it is too late," the band asserts. "You never had no faith, You always crossed the warning sign"
