Sensory writing prompt #1

Step 1: Choose something you like to eat, just enough for one mouthful. Eat it, then immediately write a three minute list of anything that comes to mind. Don’t censor or edit, just write.

Step 2: Look back over your list, circle  any words you like, then write them at the top of a fresh page. Now write for 10 minutes, using these words as inspiration. You don’t necessarily have to include all the words. Try not to pause, censor or edit. Just write and see where it goes.
Please feel free  to share your writing or the experience in the comments section.
