Common sense advice posted regularly --and it doesn't take an absolute age to read. Really useful, thanks.<br /><br /><br />-- MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771775388110854391.post-12005819304768315262012-05-02T08:16:00.390+01:002012-05-02T08:16:00.390+01:00I'm a big fan of smells, whether pig farm or m...I'm a big fan of smells, whether pig farm or melons and often let my characters become aware of smells before they open their mouths. <br /><br />In real life, a smell is the first thing that hits us when we open the car door or walk into somewhere new and I bet we all stop and analyse it before saying anything.<br /><br />Thank you for setting this out so clearly, Sarah. A great technique for smoothing transitions and introducing new iseas and situations.Alison Mortonhttp://alison-morton.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
