Creative Writing Exercise: Sensory Descriptions and Action Sentences

Engage in a creative writing exercise that combines sensory details and action-oriented sentences. Begin by crafting five sentences that evoke specific smells in a room, following the pattern: "______’s room smelled of _____, _____, and _____." Next, write ten two-word action sentences using interesting verbs, such as "Ben gagged" or "Don snorted." Accompany each action with a dramatic follow-up sentence that describes the trigger of the action without being too literal. This activity enhances your descriptive writing skills and encourages creativity.
