If you've ever worked in design or advertising, you might be familiar with the concept of "mood boards." These are meant to capture the mood, style, color scheme, etc., of the project you're conceptualizing.
The point of this exercise is to create something similar but in written form.
Instead of taking visual images from pinterest, etc., use words to sketch a few images that have something to do with your story. (Even if you don't know why they popped into your head!) In one paragraph each, paint quick pictures that capture something about the mood and feel of your story.
This should be totally freeform and come in a stream-of-consciousness way. Don't think too much! Don't copy anything you've already written. Make a mess!
Use lots of sensory details: colors, shapes, sounds, smells.
Set your timer for fifteen minutes and sketch as many images as you can.
