I try to employ all or most senses throughout the story when it comes to descriptions. I also do some planning before I write anything down so I can focus less on making up the plot as I go and more on telling it. Reading a lot and paying attention to what makes a story interesting to you is a good way to get writing examples.

If you're interested, you can dm me a part of a story if you have one and I can review it and give feedback. But it's up to you. :)

My favorite author is Dean Koontz, and he is masterful at this. In any given "scene" you hear, see, or smell things that pull you in even deeper than you already were. I'm sure there are authors even better at this than he is, but he's the one I know and I couldn't agree with you more. On that note, thank you for the reminder. It's so easy to get stuck on pacing the structure of a story or getting caught up in pedantic details. The simple human experience is at the heart of all good writing.

Hi Tysm I actually have a story as my most recent post it’d mean a lot if u check it out! And that’s great advice

It got removed 😭 that took me like an hour to type

Nooooo! Do you have a backup somewhere?

Set the stage using two senses, if you can. Try for sounds and scents. It's a picture prompt so we can see, but you could try to describe something not obvious or describe another scene or memory it evokes.
