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.

Quotes that inspire 2

Stephen King:  "I don't feel like a novelist or  a creative writer as much as I feel like an archaeologist who is digging things up and brushing them off and looking at the carvings on them."


What are you digging up? Is there something you want to dig up?
Write, filling a page.

Renovations 5

SOUL

Look into your soul. What needs "renovating"?

Write for twenty minutes, nonstop, and see what your writing reveals about yourself.

BODY


If you could "renovate" your body, what would you change? Why? Are you working on changing your body? Or are you working on accepting your body the way it is?



Write for fifteen minutes without stopping, don't think, just write. Hopefully you will end up with a gratitude story.
