The Five Senses
#WritingExercise
When writing, use two or three of the five senses to bring description to life. I’ve seen it as a tip for creative writing but also forDungeons and Dragons. It’s a ways of using Specific Detail and grounding the world in the perception of the characters
Exercise
Pick an object. In five sentences explain:
- What it sees.
- What it hears.
- What it smells.
- What it tastes.
- What it feels.
Keep the detail concrete and simple. The aim is to generate images and use the senses.
- This writing exercise comes from a workshop with Rebecca Tanthony
