Turning Your Stories into Mental Movies
If you want to turn your stories into mental movies for your audience, make sure you cover the VAKS.

As this example shows, you don’t have to give details about all four sensory inputs, but it is recommended that you do cover at least three out of the four VAKS in order to fully transport your audience into your story.

Also, as this example shows, the descriptions of your
scenes don’t need to be very long.
