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?
