What I have learnt from the creative writing is multi-sensory approach. All the 5 senses- touch, hearing, smell, sight and not sure the last one sorry. Thoughts and Feelings. Details. Details.Details!

sense of sight:

• silhouette of the man
• beam of battery lamp on his face
• eyes were hard and blue like two frozen lakes
• white light touch the leaves with wet silver
• gleamed with the quivering shine of scattered quicksilver
• moon was hidden behind long,high parallels of cloud which hung like suspended streamers of dirty cotton wool in the sky.
• shoes sank into he soil and left exact,ridged foot prints,
• down the avenues of trees
• face as invisible except for a blur of shadowed hollows and lighter crags
• stared ahead into a half-light

sense of hearing:

• the night close around was quiet now
• monotonous creek-creek-creek
• cricket stop their small noises
• brarking in short high yaps
• leaves rustled with a harsh wispering
• solid strip of high pitch sound
• small noises
• laces click as he move
• small metallic noise

sense of touch:

• a chill in the air
• the coolness of the night
• night and earth was cold and damp
• warmly dressed
• pressing it hard
• shivered now with chill

sense of smell:

• sharp,bitter-sweet citrus smell hung gently on the night air
• called softly
• pleasent sense of lemons
• perfume of lemons seem to grow stronger
• fragrant growth

other details:

• small bicycle lantern that work from a battery
• stopped abruptly
• wore khaki trousers and laced -up riding boots,and an old shooting jacket with leather patcheson the right breast and the elbows
• clenching his teeth to prevent from chattering
• flanked him
• Darkness demanded silence
• The night and earth was cold and damp
• Tiny wrinkled and deep creases which covered the red-clay complexion of his face like the myriad lines which indicate rivers,streams,roads and railways on a map.

high value words:

Abruptly - suddenly

Jeered - said in a rude manner.

Half-light - not too bright

corduroyed leg - wear jeans

Chuckle - said with some laughter.
Audacity - guts
Uncivilized - rude

Minister of church - priest

Blur of shadowed hollows and lighter crags - wrinkles.
