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.

Metaphors/Similes

Here's a brain teaser: compare and find metaphors or similes:
- woman's wrinkled face 
- old house 
- rusty truck 
- overripe banana  
- sick tree 
- broken computer 
- dull scissors 
- cracked chimney 
- smeared lips 
- shaggy carpet 
- shipwrecked sailboat
- ripped tent
Write quickly, the first metaphor or simile that comes to mind.
