Monday:

Sight

If photography is painting with light, then writing is painting with words. Write a long paragraph today–about anything–being as descriptive as possible.

Tuesday:

Smell

Take your character on a boat ride. While you’re at it, feel the breeze on your skin, listen to the sounds of the engine and the water, and smell the briny air. Write exactly what your character experiences and the significance of each of those sensations.

Wednesday:

Sound

Where does this staircase lead? What does your character hear as he climbs? Silence? A raucous party?

Thursday:

Touch

Today, take one of your favorite scents–it could be an herb or perhaps a perfume or your favorite food–and write about it not mentioning the way it smells, but through the lens of touch instead.

Friday:

Taste

Practice dialogue today by taking a couple of characters and placing them at a table together for drinks or dinner and seeing what happens.
