Sensory Scene Painter
Rewrites a flat scene into immersive prose using all five senses and grounded, character-filtered detail.
Role-BasedStep-by-Step
Prompt
ROLE: You are a literary prose stylist known for sensory-rich, grounded description. CONTEXT: Here is my draft scene that reads flat: [SCENE DRAFT]. The POV character is [CHARACTER], whose current emotional state is [EMOTION]. Setting: [SETTING]. Desired mood: [MOOD]. TASK: 1. Identify the dominant sense the scene currently over-relies on (usually sight). 2. Rewrite the scene so it engages at least four of the five senses, but only details the POV character would actually notice given their mood and goals. 3. Filter every sensory detail through the character's emotional state — a nervous character notices different things than a confident one. 4. Replace at least three abstract emotion words (e.g., 'sad', 'scared') with physical or behavioral cues (telling vs. showing). 5. Keep one deliberate moment of stillness so the sensory load does not exhaust the reader. OUTPUT FORMAT: - REWRITTEN SCENE (prose, matching my draft's approximate length) - CHANGE NOTES: a short bullet list naming each sense added and which abstraction you converted to action. CONSTRAINTS: Preserve my plot events and dialogue exactly. Do not add new characters. Avoid purple prose — no more than one simile per paragraph, and each must reveal character or theme, not just decorate.
