Ah ok. When I read this: it reminded me of a thing I do to fool around with imagery sometimes. I read an article a while back that asserted that hearing is the sense of touch at a distance the way that smell is the sense of taste at a distance. It didn't go into the sense of sight though. Anyway, if hearing is to smell as touch is to taste, then you can get images like, "I had a dog who smelled of secrets and had cigar-wrapper skin".The goal is to put together unrelated items and see where they take you, to get you out of your usual writing habits, to improvise.
