Description:

This is the 3rd in the "Write" swap series. They are all based on a great book that I found at the library. See below for author and other info if you'd like to purchase or find a copy.

The swap:

Here is a list of common foods that may trigger a memory or scene in your mind:

  • The taste of applesauce

  • The taste of popcorn

  • The taste of coffee

  • The taste of chocolate

  • The taste of hot dogs

Whichever taste brings something to mind, write everything you remember about it for 10 minutes. NO LONGER. Don’t edit or second-guess yourself. The story/article/poem/piece is the taste.

Send your partner your 10-minute effort on taste.

This swap is based on information in: “Now Write! Fiction writing exercises from today’s best writers and teachers” edited by Sherry Ellis. Published by Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penquin. ISBN 1-58542-522-2. $13.95/softcover

I made this into my monthly prompt at my local Writers' Roundtable group. Everyone ended up choosing different tastes :-) I'm going to have to type mine up, though, as no one will be able to read my scribbles when I write super fast!
