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 conflict

Thunder and Lightning Pictures




Choose a set of three verbs: 

peel - pluck - plunder

fix - fax - fathom  

swing - swap - swagger                                                             


Write for ten minutes non-stop. Don't think, just write, using the three verbs within your text. Who does what to whom?
