Do you depend on one sense in your writing and forget to use a variety of sights, sounds, and scents to enrich the text?
Select paragraphs from your favorite writer or a piece of your own writing. Notice what sense prevails. What if you remove it and replace it with another?
Observe the use of adjectives and adverbs. Replace them with a metaphor or action verb to expand meaning.
How would you:
Describe a sunset without the use of color?
Reveal music without sound?
Comment on a meal without
describing its taste?
Show the scent of a rose in metaphor?
Challenge your writing by adding sensations you do not usually consider.
