We can't live without water, yet water is responsible for some of the most devastating disasters. Surely, there must be tons of stories to write about water!
It's what washed in with the tide....
Write until a page if full.

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.

Summer 5
Where is our summer? Personally I prefer winter, but let's imagine we are in the midst of a hot and sunny summer.
Write a scene:
- You are walking barefoot on a sandy beach
- Someone/something is following you
- Still walking barefoot, you are turning into the woods.
- It starts to rain

Write for fifteen minutes. Find out what happens to the person and his/her feet.
