Your Three Minute Miracle

When you're stuck, when your writing sense has run dry, try this three minute miracle to get words flowing again.

For the first minute, close your eyes. Imagine that you're blind. When you can't see, what senses become paramount? Then, open your eyes and write down this experience. How did you think and feel for that sixty seconds?

For the second minute, plug your ears. When you can't hear, what happens to your world? Imagine, being deaf for your entire life. What would your existence be like? Envision it, then write it down.

For your third minute, select one of the remaining senses and imagine your life without it. What if you couldn't taste, feel or smell. What if your spiritual senses did not exist?
What if you had no imagination? If you couldn't write with your hands? Imagine it then put pen to paper and record your experience.

These may seem like nightmarish scenarios, but that does not have to be the case. In your mind, other senses may rise and shine, taking over with powers that make up for the sense that is missing.

The point is to use your imagination to experience life without senses that you take for granted.
Each of your senses is a miracle. Without them, what would you do?

Asking these questions acts as a reset button for your writing sense. Try this three minute miracle. Afterward, you may write with more power than ever before!
