writing.

Smell: musty, damp, stuffy, sweet, sickly, spicy, perfumed.

Sight: colour, (hot or cool, clashing, bright, neon, dark, light, pale) shape, zoom in on interesting details, e.g. fingerprints in dust, eyeliner smudged as if she’d been crying, hands shaking

Touch: sticky, smooth, rough, soft, hard, silky, fluffy, fuzzy, starchy, crisp, corrugated, rippled, abrasive, cracked.

Similes: rough as sandpaper, soft as a jellyfish, moist as a puddle.
