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.

Leonardo 1

From the notebook of Leonardo:
I wandered some distance among gloomy, overhanging rocks, coming to the entrance of a large cave. I stood in front of it for some time, kneeling and shading my eyes, stupefied and amazed, for I did not have prior knowlede of its existence. Suddenly, two things arose in me - fear and desire. Fear of the menacing darkness of the cave, and desire to see if there was any marvelous thing inside it.


What do you think about this observation? Write for five minutes, without stopping.
