Sumptuous Settings – a writing prompt

Today I encourage you to make your prose as purple as you like, in a quest to find out how much description you really need.

The Prompt

Write a story (set in your novel’s world) that makes sensation a priority. Use all five senses.

Tips

• Don’t be afraid to write ridiculously floral prose today. You can always dial it back, but it’s fun to find new ways of describing things.
• Don’t worry too much about pacing or characterization. This is an exploration of your world and the sensations a character might experience, walking through it.
• Get outside, if you have to. Listen to things. Smell the world. See what you can feel. Then come back inside and write.
