Write into Experience

You've heard from friends after an experience, "I just don't have words for it." As writers we discover words for experiences.  We explore with our senses to capture the unreachable.

English has words for expressing ideas that feel lost to expression.  The prefix "in-," meaning "not" teamed with Latin enarrare (to explain in detail) to give us "inenarrable," and the same prefix joined with Latin effabilis (capable of being expressed) to create "ineffable."

Ineffable found its way into the language in the 14th century.  Inenarrable came into English from French in the 14th century.  "Indescribable" arrived late in the 18th century.

Avoid using modifiers such as "indescribable."  Explain and express life in details.

If you feel a strange sensation, compare it to a sound, temperature, scent, texture or color.

How would an insect reveal  it?
