According to my calendar the first day of summer was Saturday, June 21st. A new season ahead of us. Let's start with a variety of writing prompts and write with enthusiasm. Who knows, one of them could launch you into a story with a setting or plot line so clear it feels alive. Let's focus on the sense of smell.
Write about the memories triggered by the following smells:
23rd: pine needles
24th: your favorite flower
25th: cinnamon
26th: orange peel
27th: cut grass
28th: new car
29th: frying bacon
30th: the locker room
Write several paragraphs or a story. Make it serious or humorous. Or write a poem, rhyming or free verse. Make it so descriptive we can all smell the fragrance. If you don't care for any of the suggestions, come up with your own list. The point is to write and focus on your sense of smell. I hope you will share your writing with a writing buddy or maybe here. Here is an opportunity for your memories to come alive again.
Keep reading. Keep writing.
