On the weekends, prompts keep my creativity warmed up so I don’t “pull a muscle” on Monday morning. During the week, prompts jump-start my writing routine. Consider using your own characters and settings for these prompts. You might come up with dazzling new ideas for your WiP! All you’ll need for these exercises is your writing materials and an open mind. Remember to drink lots of water and stretch!
Start it up!
Do you remember the first next-door neighbor who made an impression on you? Where do you think he or she is now? Turn those memories into a story or character.
Ramp it up!
What if your wip’s main character had entered a funniest home videos contest? What is on that video that’s so funny? Write it and maybe make it a scene in your wip!
Burn it up!
Summer is here and you’ve decided to spend as much time as possible in your new inground pool! But when you step out to the backyard, all of the water has been drained from your pool. Laying on the dry bottom is a note with a Mitch Hedberg quote: “I drank some boiling water because I wanted to whistle.” What’s going on? Write it.
Every Wednesday I post prompts and exercises for your “writing workout” so keep checking back! Happy writing!!!
