Smell the story

Fellow speaker,

Use all five senses (touch, taste, smell, hear, and see) in your next story and get your audience the full sensory experience of your story.  For example, you could say, "I heard the ice crack underneath me and felt the freezing water drenching my legs while I fell into the ice hole; tasting and smelling and the tangy, salty sea as it rushed into my mouth and up my nose while everything around me was a blur."

With feeling,

Tim
