This course will teach you unique ways of looking at your surroundings, showing you writing techniques that will move you from observing and reflecting to being able to write fluidly from the five senses. These exercises will ask you to notice detail in texture, sound, smell and culture. I'll ask you to keep a notebook with details that will enrich not only your perception of the world around you but also your writing. We will also explore point view, looking at your location through various lenses and writing about it in ways that touch the reader.
