As a writer, I used to write short stories and poems. As a reader, fantasy is my favorite genre. And I am currently working on my first novel, an extraterrestrial fantasy thriller. When describing something, I used to add a comparison to something in my fantasy world. Eg: - His purple eyes are glittering like THAJVA gems. - Her beautiful nose looks just like GAIJAMU flowers. And used to mention things like - She listened to the music of LILLAHI birds, and it made her somewhat calm. - the flower pot was filled with BETTORNIM flowers. I didn't mention these things anywhere else in the novel. Didn't give the reader details about these lilllahi birds, Bettornim flowers, gaijamu flowers, etc. - Is it a good idea to leave those things to the reader's imagination? Should I add additional details about these things by- - Describe it within the story? - Adding References notes at the end? English is not my mother tongue, and my story is not in English. Kindly forgive grammar mistakes.
