Day 28 of the #WriterFriendsChallenge is "story by the senses- smell." These quotes are from my WIP, An Impossible Dream, which I'm hoping to publish later this year! On top of working so closely with scent in my handmade business, @acorn_tops, and memory also remaining a theme in my upcoming book, Sare also works in the kitchens of the castle and smell in a kitchen is just as prevalent as taste. Scent is also very personal and, in this story in particular, has ties to deeper or more abstract feelings/emotions/and concepts. Certain scents with established associations offer the readers a look into what the MC is currently experiencing, the same way a character's tics or habits inform readers of the emotional state and views/relationship with the world around them. #writingcommunity #writingofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingchallenge #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorcommunity #authorgram #authorchallenge #storybythesenses #writingscent #writingsmells #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readerscommunity #aromatherapyofinstagram #aromatherapy #scentandemotions #scentandmemory #animpossibledream #beseries #bebookseries #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #indiebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHi0esPL-y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 28 of the #WriterFriendsChallenge is "story by the senses- smell." These quotes are from 4 of my already published books! * The Memory Tree (2018) * Solving for X (2016) * Society's Foundlings (2015) * Be (2021) I've discovered that I do a lot with scent in my books, which probably should not be that surprising on two fronts. 1) I work very closely with scent on the aromatherapy side of my handmade business, @acorn_tops! 2) A number of books have a theme of memories and scent is very closely tied to that! I also use scent in my books to help set the scene, build or introduce the environment and setting, and, much like taste, capture a deeper or more abstract feeling/emotion/concept. #writingcommunity #writingofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writingchallenge #writerscommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorcommunity #authorgram #authorchallenge #storybythesenses #writingscent #writingsmells #readingofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #readerscommunity #aromatherapyofinstagram #aromatherapy #scentandemotions #scentandmemory #thememorytree #societysfoundlings #solvingforx #beseries #bebookseries #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #indiebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHfl6XvULt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
