Setting the mood is very important to help spark your creativity when you have little time to write on a busy day or week. By appealing to your 5 senses, you may be able to get into the mood faster and make it easier to transfer those clever scenes from your head to the page...

Here are some examples of how to trick your senses when it's time to write! Sadly, not sponsored by these companies.

1. Sight: Fall Coffee Shop Bookstore Ambience with Relaxing Jazz Music & Rain Sounds and here is an example of the extended mouse pad on my desk
2. Sound: Pick the perfect soundtrack for your scene
3. Taste: favorite drink or using favorite mug - London Fog tea recipe
4. Smell: So many options - so time to follow your nose and wax warmers
5. Touch: comfy clothes so you can focus on the words on the page and not how itchy is your sweater
