Object Writing: 5 Minutes a Day to Writing Powerful Lyrics

Practice this 5-minute songwriting exercise daily to begin using powerful sensory descriptions that bring your listeners into your songs!

Object writing, as coined by Pat Pattison in his book “Songwriting Without Boundaries”, is the practice of describing the experiences of all seven (yes, SEVEN) of our senses when interacting with a particular object. In this video, we’re going to go through a quick object writing exercise in real time together. I also explain the benefits of integrating object writing (also called sensory writing) into your daily songwriting routine, and we explore what to do with your results.

Remember, you can always come back and try it again with me tomorrow! Feel free to rewatch the video or reach out to me if you need an extra nudge to keep the habit going. Happy Songcrafting!
