Re: Re: Re: SD discussion 4

I think experience would be a big help with sensory details, jargon, dialogue and description. But at some point wouldn't it get boring if we only wrote about our own personal experiences? Having experienced certain things would also make it easiere to be able to put those pieces together. I think someone pointed out on the forum that a chef would probably be good at showing smell, and a pilot would be more detail oriented. I think those things just happen. I find that I love to watch people, their actions, and their conversations. But then, as a police officer that's one of the things I learned without even realizing it.

I am a retired police officer, but I find most fiction novels about police procedure and crime to be boring. I'm not saying the works were boring, only that I find them boring. The non-fiction crime stories do hold much more interest for me. I worked many murder cases, but there are two that really stand out because they were so unusual. I have been receiving encouragement to write the stories, and I will, someday.
