Do you depend on one sense in your writing and forget to use a variety of sights, sounds and scents to enrich the text?
Experiment with substracting elements from a descriptive passage. Select paragraphs from your favorite writer or a piece of your own writing. Notice what sense prevails. What if it's removed?
Observe the use of adjectives and adverbs. Use a metaphor or action verb replace them to expand meaning.
How would you describe a garden without the use of color? Reveal music without sound, a meal without taste, or a sunset without sight. Show the scent of a rose in metaphor.
Write about the process of adding and subtracting elements in your writing.
