Take 15 – 20 minutes to complete one of these exercises.
1. Close your eyes and
imagine that you are in a room. Place an object in that room, and write a
short free write from the perspective of that object.
2. "I tried not
to hold my breath, but I couldn't force myself to exhale even if I wanted
to. I knew that the sight would stay with me forever." Use this sentence
as a jumping off point for your writing.
3. Imagine a pungent odor. Write several words describing
the odor. Take a character or a situation about which you are currently working
and try to work in that odor in a short free write.
