I like that you use the word "Sensuality" as almost an acronym to remind yourself to consider multiple senses and aspects when talking about a character. I do have a question though, if you constantly do that, how do you keep, focusing on all those aspects of the character, from deterring or distracting you from, say for instance, describing backdrop and scenery? Or is there a way/method to balancing the two?

Thank you Beth, I liked the way you use the word 'sensuality' in how you approach a novel. Though I was aware of the concept I can see now how I can help myself by this approach. Thank you for bringing me back, and adding to this approach for me. Ideas are bubbling in my mind already. Carole Lane (weave)
