Pat Pattison of Berkleemusic.com is a great advocate of object writing, saying it is the writers set of bar bells that keep you ready to dive into the pool of sense experience to draw forth experiences and ideas to assist in songwriting at the drop of a hat.
Object Writing is the process of engaging your senses [ taste touch sight sound smell body sensations and kinesthetic movement] to write about an object or a thing for a set period of time, the standard time is ten minutes , though there are also options to do 7 minute 5 minute and even 90 seconds!
Don’t try to be to ‘normal’ with the writing , let it flow and lightly edit when finished. have a look at objectwriting.com for some ideas.
Great idea! I think I’ll start with my coffee mug…
cool! i might give this a go someday soonish.
Thanks for posting these – I subscribe to your feed so that I can do my own daily object writing!

Thanks, I like using a rss feed because I don’t have to see all the words at once, I can just see the word on the day that I want to write.
This is so cool! I’m a beginning writing student… I think I’ll try doing these.
