The NorthEast may be more amenable to seafood: lobster, crab, etc. The South may be more heavily laden with the smoky scent of sweet honey barbeue. Here in the Southwest we're big on chili and Mexican food.<br /><br />Another thing to keep in mind when being descriptive . . . does the sound have an accompanying visual? For instance, if you're walking through snow, it has a wet, powdery crunch underfoot, but if you're shuffling through it drier snow will tend to spray or fan out in front of you as you step through it.<br /><br />Out here in Arizona the summers aren't just hot. they feel like a chasm has opened exposing Hell.J.W.

Also, mentioning the time of year and the weather lets the reader know a lot. If it's January and warm, you're definitely not in Michigan! LOL<br /><br />Little things, all adding up, can give the reader the feel and sense of where they are without putting up a "You Are Here." sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
