In this next series of posts I’ve added ten writing prompts per week. This is week 1
- Go to randomwordgenerator.com and generate a random word and write what comes to mind with the word that comes up
- Grab a dictionary, open it up and with your eyes closed run your finger up and down the pages for ten seconds and stop on the word, write what comes to mind
- Look out the window and describe what you see
- Eat something you love the taste of and write the description from a character’s point of view
- Eat something you can’t stand the taste of and write all the sensations from a character’s point of view
- Have someone carry you around in whatever manner for a couple minutes and describe what it was like from a character’s point of view – scared? Excited? Powerless
- Carry someone around (with their consent) and write how the carrier would feel
- The next time you’re intimate or describe the last time you were intimate from a character’s point of view
- Visit a tourist attraction in your hometown you’ve never been to before and write how a character would see it
- Visit a town close by you’ve never visited, look at it through the character’s eyes and describe the town, what you see, smell, hear – use all the senses
