Today we'll talk about genre as setting. Some genres are just made for the setting. Their mechanisms affect the setting so much that I think, when they are combined, they are generally going to be notes on how you present the setting. So lets get into it!

Today we’ll continue with Taste, Touch and Smell, the step sisters of Sight and Sound. These are very important, definitely more important than sight, in my opinion, so let’s get into the meat and potatoes, the grit like sand paper and the rosy topic of Taste, touch and smell.

I'm also a six-time published author with a lot more to learn about the craft. I beta read six to ten manuscripts a year because it gives me opportunities to identify good and bad things about storytelling. It also allows me to help authors who need feedback on their writing before publication.
I'm here to share the feedback that I offer authors from all walks of the writing journey with you. Thanks for stopping by!
