Description
Sense writing is a great tool to develop your authentic voice, to help you create visceral stories. It’s a beautiful skill to hone and can be enormously effective in any type of writing, including business writing.Your senses create a unique image, an image that shows how you see, hear, feel, taste and smell this world. In this course I will help you to write from the five senses so you can transport your readers into the character’s experience and thus bring your stories vividly to life.Why is it so effecitive?When you read sensory words different areas of your brain light up than when reading non-sensory words. Your brain processes sensory words as if you taste a coffee, as if you see an outburst of colour, as if you feel the fur of our cat. This is why sensory words are more powerful and memorable than ordinary words because they make your reader see, hear, smell, taste, or feel your words.If this doesn’t taste like more…Are you ready to take your first step into the magical land of sensory imagery language? Let’s see, hear, touch, smell and taste the world, let’s explore and write inspiring stories. Let’s spice up your writing and invite your readers to experience your words as if they’re living in your story.It is a hands on course in which you’ll be putting the theory and ideas straight into practice by fun and curious exercises. In bit-sized bursts you’ll master the art of sense writing. It’s a beautiful course for anyone who wants to (further) develop their writing. Jump on board and let me help you captivate your audience.
