Exercise #362: Craft
Posted 4/2/10
I’m back to your suggestions from Exercise #336 for Craft. This one comes from Sharon Tabor Warren’s comments.
In her idea for revitalizing previous Craft exercises, she suggested, “Or Senses--perhaps work on taste and smell, probably the most underused of the senses in our writings.”
For today's assignment, pick one of these:
* It’s final exam day at cooking school
* A prominent food critic - with a weekly column! - is in your restaurant for dinner
* It’s “hot meal” day at the school cafeteria
* Your fruit pie is being judged at the county fair
* Your true love takes you out to a special meal
And imagine . . .
Describe the scene, paying careful attention to the senses of taste and smell. Your submission does not need to be a full story.
Critiquers, did it make you hungry? Were the references to sensations within the piece seamless or did they feel forced?
