One thing I like to re...Always an important lesson. One thing I like to remember: never think of it as juggling five senses at once. <br /><br />The two main senses have different ways of focusing. Sight follows what the character is paying attention to (it's called Point of View, after all), although it can relax and take in general surroundings as well. Hearing takes in everything always, so it may keep you aware of everything noisy that you weren't focused on-- though of course whatever's drawn the eye may well be making the most sound too. Smell works like hearing (you catch whatever's most stinky, all the time), and touch and taste like sight in that you mostly choose to pick up or eat something.<br /><br />I hate juggling five of anything. But balancing sight and hearing's patterns, and then mixing in the other sight-type and hearing-type senses along the same lines, can work.Ken Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732164204232936705noreply@blogger.com
