Object Writing

What are some things that have absolutely changed your life? I’m talking HABIT, I’m talking OBJECT, I’m talking BOOK, I’m talking PRODUCT or DEVICE or HOBBY or VIDEO.

Singer/songwriter Madison Cunningham recommends this daily practice to spark creativity and build vivid lyric writing. It’s just an object prompt and you write for 10 minutes using sense language. It’s really blown off the cobwebs for me. (Feels like an essential brain exercise in the AI era). Also fun. This site provides a daily prompt and a timer.

Excellent idea! What is ‘sense language’?

Special attention to the five senses (see hear smell touch taste) plus your sense of balance and location in space. You can find some examples online. For me it’s a free association that usually leads somewhere interesting.
