Monday Exercise: Smell

Posted by Jen on March 3, 2008

This morning, I had a Monday Exercise in mind and sat down to work on it. Then I smelled it.

Hot syrup. French toast.

Even now, the smell lingers. I had already had breakfast, but my mouth watered and my stomach rumbled a little bit anyway.

Does smell influence your creative endeavors? If no, how can you use it to add something more to your creativity?
