13 Ways to Start Writing
We have all gone into writer's block at one time or another....the following are suggestions taken from Abigail Thomas' article "Everyone Has a Story to Tell". Shes gives her writing class assignments because it is hard to make something out of the clear blue sky. It doesn't have to be a story. It doesn't have to be an anything. Nothing is more deadening to creativity than the grim determination to write. She asks for two pages on these suggestions:
- Write two pages of apologies....
- Write two pages of instructions to the child you once were.
- Write two pages in which something is broken.
- Write two pages about an unwelcome surprised .
- Write two pages about a proposal of marriage.
- Write two pages in which you do something wrong you do not regret.
- Write two pages about where you would fly if you could.
- Write two pages about a bad haircut.
- Write two pages about scolding a child.
- Write two pages in which you were unmasked.
- Write two pages on the best meal you ever ate.
- Write two pages about something you wish you didn't know.
- Write two pages on something that makes you laugh every time.
