If your memoir includes stories about Christmas or events that happened in the winter, during December and January pay close attention to sensory details and plan to use them in your stories.
What sounds are
typical of this season?
What flavors do you
associate with this time of year?
What sights? Smells?
Textures or temperatures (sense of touch)?
Jot them down for use later. After this busy holiday season, get out your rough drafts and insert
those details—they’ll make your stories more vivid for readers.
Your goal is to
invite readers into your story with you. Sensory details help them experience
what you experienced.
