I have a very vivid imagination, so when I read a book I see everything that's happening; the action, the character, even the scenery. How does a writer convey that to his or her readers? I put myself into the story. I touch the rocky wall, feel the sand under my feet and then I put it into words.
Example: Jenny and Mica were laying on the beach. He kissed on the forehead and smiled. This would be a day she would never forget.
This is much better: Jenny felt the scratch of wet sand against her back. She opened her eyes. Micah was smiling. His blue eyes as turbulent as the sea they had just come from. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. A delicious shiver went down her spine. This would be a day she would never forget.
Even that can use improvement but I think you get the idea. Where are they? What are they doing? You tell me.
