For our November writing prompt, I wanted to focus on the 5 senses, as that has been one of the things on the back of my mind during NaNoWriMo

The 5 senses are sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.

Including the 5 senses will help to make your writing more vivid. And it will allow your reader to better imagine your setting, characters and events.

You don't need to use all five everytime you describe something. But you also don't want to limit yourself by only using sight and hearing.

Writing Prompt:

Write a scene, using each of the 5 senses, twice.

For a more challenging writing prompt:

Each time you are describing something,  rolling a die, or use a number generator, to pick a random sense. 

If you roll: 

1 - Sight
2 - Hearing
3 - Taste
4 - Smell
5 - Touch
6 - You choose!
