Can you write a sound? Not just using adjectives, or even alliteration–but actual transcription of sound? Try sitting somewhere you can listen to a common sound in your life, and try to write down exactly what you hear. What do you write when you try to capture the sound of water running, birds singing, engines running, someone cooking? Can you read it back to yourself and recreate the sound you heard?
