Writing Tools: Sensory Imagery By Susan Hanniford Crowley

This Writing Tool can also be used as a writing prompt. The bottom line is to let your surroundings inspire your writing. Fill your writing with sensory imagery.

  1. Notice the details. Examples: The raindrop impressions on the water, her red umbrella, and the city lights reflecting in a fuzzy way.
  2. Imagine the sounds. Cars passing. The drip-drop of the rain. The sloshing sound of water against the rocks.
  3. What scents fill the air? Saltwater? Maybe mixed fragrances of fried food from a fast food place?
  4. How does she feel? Wet? Sad and lonely? Happy and feeling free? Planning where to go next?
  5. Will she pick up a rock? Is the footing slippery? Don’t forget to add “touch.”

You are not tied to using this picture for your inspiration. Look through a photo album, or window, or visit someplace that inspires you. Take a lot of photos for later.

Stay safe and warm. Spring approaches but a lot of places are still cold.

Truly,

Susan
