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!
Exercise 1
Everyone has a first memory. What is your wip’s main character’s first memory? Write the scene.
Ramp it up!
Exercise 2
Write about an intense board game incident that ends up with the game on the floor, no working lights in the room, buffalo chicken dip all over the cat, and one of the players missing.
Burn it up!Exercise 3
What have you been whining about lately? Turn those complaints into a humorous story.
Every Wednesday I post prompts and exercises for your “writing workout” so keep checking back! Happy writing!!!

The second one made me laugh out loud! "Bob, your cat's got dip on his head..."
I remember an intense board game between my mother and father. They were playing checkers and my father won. My mother wasn't a very good sport and she up and hit him over the head with the board. She was so embarrassed. I don't think she ever played him again. I wonder what she would have done with no working lights, buffalo chicken dip on the cat, and someone missing. Hmmm, I feel a scene coming on. :)
I love the idea of the first memory thing.
Very cool.
Great exercises. I particularly like the one about the character's earliest memory. :-)
Alex- I know wouldn't that be something? Not fun to clean up though!
Kathi- LoL that is funny! My mom and dad play Scrabble all the time and they always argue while playing it. It's really hilarious!
Jolene- Glad you like it! Hope you have a great weekend.
Misha- That's a fun one to do! It's good for character development.
