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.

The weather 1

Most people like talking about the weather. For the following week, I will send out an exercise per day, all to do with the weather. Enjoy!


Look over your last written piece, chapter or story and see if you mentioned the weather. If not, incorporate it. Any sense makes a story come more to life.

Waiting 5

Go back to Monday's exercise:
What are you waiting for? How much longer are you willing to wait?
What if you took action today?


Write for fifteen minutes. You might feel inspired to keep writing until you find your own answers.

Waiting 3

Have you ever been stood up? Or did you stand up someone? Maybe you would like to stand someone up, but haven't got the heart to do it?


Write for ten minutes. Let it all out, don't hold back.
You might find a new character, a scene you can use somewhere, or just feel better to finally tell (write) exactly how you feel.
