Learn to write by living inside your story—seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, and hearing everything around you!
IMPORTANT: If you haven't done them yet, check out the Writing Your Feelings and the Reading for Sensory Detail exercises first!
Now think again of that time in your life that had a big emotional impact on you. You don’t have to think too hard about what happened. Remember, you can make up details as long as they’re specific and “feel” real to you. Imagine you are INSIDE the scene now. Let your heart guide you. Take out a piece of paper and write one paragraph telling us what you see, what you hear, what you smell. The paragraph should be embedded with lots of sensory detail that puts you INSIDE the emotional experience.
