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.

Raise the Stakes 2

How can you make a reader care as much about your protagonist as you do? Make him/her strong, engaging and sympathetic; know your protagonist intimately. You do know him, do you?

What is your protagonist's pet peeve? What issue really fires him up? Why? What triggered this disilke?

Write, filling a page, without stopping.
