The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I love exploring the spice markets when we travel.
(This display was found in Dubai.)
When I cook, I tend to reach for the same spices again and again.
A visit to a spice market reminds me that there’s a vast assortment of spices available on this wonderful planet, spices I rarely or have never used.
I make it a goal to try at least one of those spices after each visit.
And that changes my cooking and my meals significantly. The new-to-me spice adds interest, another dimension to the food.
This is the same with writing and telling stories. There are words and cadence and sentence structure and other aspects that we can use to add interest and variety to our tales.
Try something new. Explore new-to-you writing lands.
