Six Weeks,
Six Senses

Start the new year with creative curiosity!

Refresh your writing practice.
Have fun writing six new stories in just six weeks
...one sense at a time.

Free for everyone.


Six Weeks, Six Senses is a neuron-moving writing game that awakens all of your senses, sparks your imagination, challenges you creatively, and helps you feel more calm and aware.

If you’re new to Six Weeks, Six Senses, welcome! If you’ve joined us before, get ready for new clues and fresh inspiration. This adventure will guide you to write through the senses of sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, and intuition.

Your job is to pay close attention, and follow your curiosity to see where it goes.

Show up with curiosity.
Pay attention for clues.
Write what appears.

Here’s how it works:

Each week, you’ll receive a writing assignment with three story clues: a character, a setting, and a pivotal object. These clues will be paired with one of the six senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, or intuition.

Open your mind, bring your sense of play... and get ready to follow your curiosity wherever it leads you!

Each week, you’ll use one of your senses to inspire you as you write. This process uses your body’s awareness and your active mind together, naturally bringing you into a more imaginative and mindful state.

It’s the perfect way to start a brand new year!

Since 2018, thousands of writers have joined this annual creative community project.


Why do Six Weeks, Six Senses?

This free creative writing game is perfect for writers at any stage, whether you’re just starting out or have been writing for years. The story clues meet you where you are in your creative life, and give you the flexibility to write in whatever genre or style you want.

Writing with your senses is a powerful practice that helps you quiet distractions, reduce anxiety, and boost your focus. The calm, present energy you cultivate in your writing can ripple out into your daily life, helping you stay grounded and connected to the world around you.

Writing with our senses is meditation for active minds.

Six Weeks, Six Senses is a six-week online writing adventure that will take you by surprise, in just the right way. This is the opposite of distraction, and the antidote to anxiety. You’ll infuse your intellect with intuition. You’ll feel connected, awake, and clear.

...and you might notice that you feel more alive in your daily life, even when you aren’t writing.

Six Weeks, Six Senses is free
for everyone.
