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.

Plant a seed 3

There are a thousand theories on how to map out a story or a novel. Every writer works differently, however, every story begins with an idea, a seed that germinates. This week's exercises are designed to find new ideas.


-Do you have - or would you like - a garden?
-Do you - or would you - plant flowers or vegetables?
-How do you - would you - deter predators from eating your crop?

You might prefer to look at these questions metaphorically.

Write for ten minutes without stopping.
