Writing Exercises

Are you running out of writing exercise ideas? You've come to the right blog.
I believe, writing - or any other art form - takes practice. Some of us write morning pages, some keep diaries, some write a hundred drafts, others "keep in shape" with writing exercises.
Personally, I prefer writing exercises and am always looking for new ideas. Surely - I assume - I can't be the only writer out there, searching for fresh stimulation. That is why I designed this blog, to share my "starters" with you.
So, plant your butt on a chair and start writing. Better yet sign up and receive my new writing exercise postings via email.

Create a character

- college buddy - weeping willow
- partner - lettuce
- crusader - roses
- cowboy - fruit tree
- multi-millionaire - stinging nettle
Choose any two, a character and a metaphor. Write for ten minutes without stopping, without thinking. A character will emerge.
