She recommends the following writing exercise to get started: Think of an event in your life and the emotion it evoked in you. Write a page or two about that event without using&quot;I felt&quot; or &quot;I feel.&quot; Use your other senses including sight, smell, and sound to describe the scene. Writing from the senses can be a powerful way to connect with and move readers, but don&#39;t forget the importance of the fine details, Lee says.&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-57/Writing-from-the-Senses-to-Evoke-Emotion.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Writing-from-the-Senses-to-Evoke-Emotion.mp3</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, podcast</div>
