The 5 Senses Scene Challenge
One of the fastest ways to improve your writing is learning how to pull readers into a moment instead of simply explaining what happened. Today we’re practicing sensory storytelling. Many writers rely heavily on sight, but powerful writing uses all five senses. Step 1 Think of a simple moment. Examples: ☀️ sitting in a café 🍵 ☀️ walking through a forest 🌳 ☀️ waiting for a train 🚂 ☀️ opening an old letter ✍️ ☀️ standing outside during a storm ☔️ Small moments often create the most immersive writing. ✍️ Step 2 Write five short lines, each using a different sense. Sight Sound Smell Touch Taste Example: 👁️ Sight: Rain crawled down the window like silver threads. 👂 Sound: The quiet clatter of cups echoed through the café. 👃 Smell: Roasted coffee and warm cinnamon hung in the air. 🤚 Touch: The mug heated my cold hands. 👅 Taste: The coffee was strong and bitter. Step 3 Combine those lines into one short paragraph scene. Let the moment breathe. Bonus Challenge Write the same scene again but change the emotional state of the character. Emotion changes how we experience the world.

I am moved and the taste of salt from my own tears is on my tongue. The unmistakable scent of new life fills my nostrils as I take my new granddaughter into my arms. I feel the warmth of her small body as I cradle her. With wonder I look at her small perfect face, her tiny body, and each finger and toe. Her chest rises and falls in rhythmical deep breaths that fill the air with the sounds of new life. A moment etched forever in my memory that still brings tears of wonder and gratitude to my eyes.

@Dani Rosenblad James Thanks. My son took it. I love it because of that connection.
Upcoming Workshop: From Idea to Published: The Real Map to Finishing Your Book
I have been working on something in the background and now I'm ready to share it! Many of you have struggled with what happens in between writing your book. All the steps that are needed to make it shine. ✨ So, I have created this workshop that will help you understand more of the steps that are needed to be taken to get your book out as it deserves. I'll go over: 🔥 Concept & Positioning 🔥 Structure 🔥 Drafting 🔥 BETA Readers 🔥 ARC Readers 🔥 Professional Team 🔥 Story First I highly suggest to come with a pen and paper so that you can take notes. PLUS, I will have some activities that you'll get to do within to help you understand where you are at and some of the steps that you can take. Check out World Time Buddy to see the different time zones. (FYI: I'm in CET time zone) I haven't set a specific date as of yet. Below are some ideas for dates. Let's look them over and decide together! I can't wait to have this workshop with all of you! ❤️

I will be working at both times.
Story Chain TOGETHER! ⛓️‍💥
It seems that we haven't played a story game for a while. I like doing these to see what we can create together, and to help people understand importance of NOT having it perfect at the beginning. Other times that we've done this, people switched from perspectives and there were grammar issues. So, let's play and understand the first draft is meant to be messy! Topic: Nature I'm going to write a sentence, and I want you to build off of it by writing 1-2 sentences. Copy and paste the sentences prior to yours so that they are in the same comment! Here's the sentence: The trees swayed in the distance, which echoed a rustling sound in the air. Add this sentence to your comment! Now, if you've been struggling on creating your book at any stage, it's time to decide to get that extra help. My team and I are here to help guide you every step of the way. From idea, all the way to publishing the book! 📕 Now is the time! ⏰ Reach out to me and let's talk!

The trees swayed in the distance, which echoed a rustling sound in the air. There was a chill in the air as the moon shone on the rippling lake.
💭 What Most Writers Don’t Realize Until They’re Stuck
Most writers assume writing feels hard because they’re undisciplined. That they lack consistency. That they just need to “try harder” or be more motivated. But in my experience, that’s rarely the real reason. Writing becomes hard because you’re carrying things into the work. You’re holding: 😩 emotional weight from the story itself 😩 self-doubt about whether your voice is “enough” 😩 old stories about being seen or judged 😩 the pressure to get it right the first time 😩 the fear of opening something you don’t know how to close That’s a lot to ask of a blank page. 📃 And yet, most writing advice only talks about structure, outlines, word counts, and productivity, without ever acknowledging the human sitting at the desk. 🧍‍♀️ That’s why I don’t just teach structure. I work with the writer behind the words. Because when you support the nervous system, the emotions, and the inner dialogue, the writing starts to move again, naturally. Not forcefully. Not through shame or hustle. Support doesn’t mean you’re failing. It doesn’t mean you’re “bad at writing.” It doesn’t mean you’ve fallen behind. ❤️ It means you’re honest about what this process actually asks of you. ❤️ It means you care enough about your story to hold it with intention. ❤️ It means you’re serious about finishing, not just starting. And you don’t have to do that alone. If you’ve been thinking, “I don’t want to carry this by myself anymore,”message me SUPPORT or write it in the comments and we’ll talk about what kind of guidance would actually serve you. You deserve to feel supported while you write. ✍️

Reading this, I’m reminded of a moment while reading The Way of the Peaceful Warrior that showed me how blocks can show up. I had a system of colours I was experimenting with to track feelings and body sensations. I was excited to see where it might take me. Then, when it came time to underline the words, I started to cry and couldn’t do it. I was surprised to find I was sitting with the fear of doing it wrong in that moment. Reading this post made me realize that if something as simple as underlining can feel impossible, then facing a blank page with my own words can feel even more daunting. It isn’t about discipline or talent. It’s about the weight I was carrying and the courage it takes to just begin. I switched to a pencil, and for now, that is enough. Baby steps.

@Cherryl Chow I thought it was such a different kind of experience. Thank you for letting me know it isn't just me. 💕
