Amazing. I had never heard anything like that. I do agree, however, that smells can take you back to a certain place and time in your memory, there is no arguing there. I see the importance of incorporating that into the stories I write. Almost like getting the reader to identify with the character. Awesome post Laurie. Thanks.
