Take 15 – 20 minutes to complete one of these exercises.
1. Think of a distinctive
face - this must be a face that you have actually seen but need not be the
face of a human. Jot down not only several words to describing the face but
also how each feature made you feel. Write a short selection based on what
you have written, conveying both the physical and emotional description of
the face.
2. "Yesterday
I believed that it was not possible but as I stood at the entrance to the
room I could not escape the truth."
3. Think about a meal where you were served your favorite
dish. Try to remember not only the taste and appearance of the food, but
also the conversation during the meal (or lack thereof), the temperature of
the room, the color of the dishes, etc. Now think of how a character that
you are working on would experience a similar meal. Write a short selection
from the point of view of your character.
