Hey, guys!
As promised, I have a new writing exercise for you! I've been seeing examples of this type of an exercise all over the place online, so I thought I should create a few of my own. I hope you guys enjoy it. Be sure to give me some feedback in the comments if you love/hate these writing exercises.
Okay, so for this exercise, you have to write a scene or a dialogue for a short story. To make it a little easier for you, I'm going to give you five words that you have to include in your piece.
You could incorporate the words into a dialogue, you could write a description, or you could use one of the words as a metaphor or simile. As always, the possibilities are absolutely boundless.
But the catch is that at least one of the words (the object, idea, or action) should be the focal point of the scene you are writing. However, if one of the words is "apple" for example, you don't have to make the main character an apple. Maybe you're writing a narrative about the fateful day that Sir Isaac Newton came up with gravity. The apple that fell on his head could count as the focal point of the scene.
You also don't have to use each word in your scene in the order that I give them to you. If I have "pear" as the first word and "orange" as the second word, you can feel free to be a rebel and have an orange appear in your story first. Just make sure you don't forget the pear.
Get it? Got it. Good.
One more thing: some words could count as a verb and a noun. This sounds kind of obvious, but I wanted to make sure that just because I tell you guys to use the word "thunder" you know that it's up to you whether you want it to be the thing that goes with lightning or a synonym for "yell" or "roar."
Now, for the words.
1) Fire
2) Dance
3) Raindrop
4) Phone
5) Watch
Are your creative juices flowing yet? Well, start writing! Fly, my pretties! Fly!
Happy writing!!
