Writers, Let’s Write!

Over and over you hear and we (along with every other writer’s blogger and advice giver) say to Write, Write and Write more. You hear that writing is the only way to improve upon your craft of writing … that practice makes perfect.

As with any other profession or hobby, you and I need a release — a change of pace or an opportunity to write something separate from our current work. And so, I am directing your attention to the Writing Prompts.

A new writing prompt is posted every Friday specifically for your writing enjoyment or for welcomed (and maybe even unwelcomed) homework — and is conveniently located on the right hand side (just scroll down a bit :). Its purpose is to allow you to branch out in new directions with your writing, stimulating new creativity and refreshing your spirits towards your current projects.

So enjoy. Enjoy the prompts, and enjoy your writing.

Weekly Writing Prompt

Imagine a setting or situation in which you would be an outsider. Say it’s your first day learning karate and the rest of your class are black belts. Or perhaps you find yourself smack dab in the middle of an NRA conference and you adamantly oppose firearms. How would you react? How would you feel? Being an outsider can often provide the perfect springboard into your character’s mentalities as well as an objective viewpoint that can be used to describe settings more naturally. (2/4/11)

Weekly Writing Tip

When it comes to writing, seeing isn’t always believing. Next time you find yourself in front of your keyboard about to begin another piece, try closing your eyes and typing. Imagine the setting, characters, thoughts and emotions you’re trying to capture and start writing without opening your eyes. Just the look of a sentence can often disrupt your flow or rhythm, and rereading what you’ve already written will not only slow you down, but upset your train of thought as well. (2/4/11)
