Adult Writing Workshop: How to Write Using Our Senses
We are living in an age where our attention span is manipulated and bombarded on a daily basis with too much information, thanks to laptops, iPads, and phones. But remember that sense of wonder as a child when walking your neighborhood and you could feel and see and smell the changes of the seasons and how that shaped your behavior? In this workshop, we will explore how to get back to a more sense-based existence—that will both inform and shape your writing, as well as help with your editing. We will discuss methods and habits that can enhance your situational awareness by using all of your senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. And we will examine and discuss the writings of authors known for their descriptive ability to place the reader in a certain time and place.
Watching urban wildlife in your own backyard, taking daily walks in your neighborhood or an evening drive in the country with the windows down, or walking into a bakery and being engulfed in the aroma of freshly baked breads and cookies all are sensory experiences. In this workshop, we will complete a series of writing exercises to hone your writing skills using the power of observations—noticing the extraordinary in the everyday, and noticing the ordinary with a sense of wonder.
