This chapter explores the possibility of empathizing with objects in creative writing. By adopting the perspective of objects, it argues that writers may facilitate empathetic communication with them, allowing writing to open up an expanded view that moves beyond anthropocentrism to include non-human and more-than-human life. This chapter introduces empathy as perspective-taking, a situated, embodied response that engages with the vitality of matter. It illustrates how writers can communicate with and through objects, revealing unnoticed narrations, new temporalities, and imaginative spaces. Two key processes, sensing objects within broader conceptual worlds and shifting temporalities beyond human timescales, are proposed to facilitate this empathetic engagement. This chapter emphasizes that empathy with objects also carries ethical risks, such as deflecting human accountability. Rather than aiming for full empathic understanding, it calls for a nuanced, relational mode of empathetic communication in creative writing that recognizes the entanglement between human and non-human entities. Ultimately, it presents empathy with objects as a provocative tool for rethinking creative writing, encouraging multispecies awareness and opening up expanded forms of narrative and knowledge. If we are to pursue creative writing that transcends mere character development, we might begin to explore the multiplicity of possibilities for empathizing with things.
