Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to write. And that would be me. I've moved my journal about my writing life over to LiveJournal http://susanwrites.livejournal.com This blog will be filled with writing prompts and exercises so we can all write on right now! Please feel free to share your favorites.
I'm suffering from too many blogs and not enough time so I am closing this blog. The old entries will stand but I will not be adding to them here.

Write in vivid detail about your ideal place to live or work. Describe the feel of the floor beneath your feet, the smell in the air, all those sensory details that can make a reader feel as though they are in the room with you.

Write about a celebration that is happening. Try to write it from two points of view; from the point of view of someone who is enjoying the celebration and the point of view of someone who would rather be anywhere else doing anything else in the world BUT celebrate.

From where you are sitting right now, make a list of everything you see. Keep listing until you feel compelled to write more than just a list.

List as many things as you can that are blue. Now write an emotion next to each of those words. Add a verb to each line. Now, see if you can turn some of those lines into mini stories.

You just fell. Or did you trip? Did you hit the ground or fall through something magical? Are you okay or are you hurt? Are you alone or did someone see what happened?
