Writing Through the Senses

Experience a unique and fresh approach to creative writing by using

sensory prompts--images, objects, tactile sensations, sound, movement,

taste and smell--to guide your writing process. This way of working goes

beyond language and linear thinking, leading to more intuitive, embodied ways

of knowing. This book will help you increase your awareness of the richness of

life and foster a sense of possibility, joy and confidence, all of which you can bring

to your work. While not a formulaic how-to manual, it gives clear instructions

and provides numerous examples and suggestions for you to explore on your

own. The book also explains how sensory prompts work differently from word

prompts and why they result in such meaningful discoveries. The text is augmented

with colorful, evocative photographs which in themselves offer an entry point to

working from the senses.
