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.

Point of view




-Write about the most frightening horror movie you have seen. Write three minutes without stopping.
-Who did you see that movie with? Write in that person's voice. Did he/she like the movie? Find it scary? Funny? Write three minutes without stopping.
-Imagine the main character (protagonist) describe the story. What would he/she say and why?  Write for three minutes.
-Imagine the actor, who played the main character, describe the movie. Write for three minutes.
-Finally, go back to your first exercise. Do you still feel the same about the scary movie? Did you change your opinion?  Why?
