Writers need to develop deep imagery. It doesn't matter if it's real story or a fictional one; it's the authors' duty to induce reactions from the reader.
Use Imagination—Take a deep breath and read the following paragraph. See if your mind reacts to the stimulus.
It's a hot summer day. You pull a lemon from the fridge. You're holding it in your hand. Look at the outside; run your thumb over it's yellow waxy skin, notice the tiny green bits. Feel how cold it is in your hand. Raise it to your nose and smell it. Mmm. Press it gently and notice the weight of the lemon in the palm of your hand. Pick up a knife and cut it in half. Hear the juices, feel the little spray and notice the smell as it increases. Bite deeply into the lemon and allow the juice to swirl around in your mouth. Did your mouth react?

My mouth puckers every time I look at those lemons.
A lot of people read this and I got some really great comments on facebook about it, but they can't leave a comment on here. Some ladies want to be on that beach. Also I got a variety of answers on what comes to mind when certain words are said.
