It is not always easy to get characters from "here" to "there". For an exercise, try one of the following, describing the action using at least three senses.
- Peter: from the bed into the shower
- Mary: from the cellar into the attic
- Dad: from the carport to the office
- Suzie: from the house to the school bus
- John: from the classroom to the principal's office
- Mom: from the laundry room into the garden
- Group of kids: from the campground to the water slides
- Dog: from the back alley into the kitchen
Write, without stopping, for ten minutes.

Tickle your imagination - begin a new story - define your character - get unblocked - find your flow - exercise your craft. Write for yourself. Write for your family. Write for publication. If you don't tell your story, who will?
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.
