Writing Challenge

Describe the character you're writing about as if they suddenly walked into your favorite coffee shop. (Or bookstore, or restaurant; your favorite hangout.) What do you notice first about them? Is it how they look? How they walk? How they talk? Try to write for at least twenty minutes.

Writing Challenge

Pick your favorite food, and describe it. 

Start with how it looks. Describe the colors, the shapes, the presentation, whether it’s in a bowl or a plate, and anything else you can think of.

Now, for how it sounds. Say the name of the food out loud, and write about that. Are there a lot of syllables, or is it a short word? Hard to pronounce, or simple?

Then, write about how it smells. Does it have a strong smell, or not so much? Does the smell remind you of anything? 

Move on to how it feels. This is even more fun if it’s messy food, to be honest. Describe what it’s like to the touch. Is it hard? Soft? Hot? Cold? Rough? Smooth? 

Finally, finally, write about how it tastes.  Is it sweet? Sour? Salty? Savory? Does the taste remind you of anything else? Try to avoid saying if it’s good or bad. Instead, describe it in such a way that a reader would KNOW it was good, without having to be told.

The purpose of this is twofold: 1. It’s supposed to challenge your ability to write descriptions.

2. It’s supposed to make you hungry. (So you can reward yourself with your favorite food, obviously.)  Because if you can make yourself hungry? One day, you could probably make your readers hungry.
