Writing Workshop 2
I nicked today's WW from The 3 AM Epiphany by Brian Kiteley. Paraphrased:
Outrunning the Critic: Write at least 100 short sentences about your character. The sentences should not connect and should not follow one another in any logical way. The idea of this exercise is to force you to outrun your own thoughts and intelligence and critical mind. Be careful not to be monotonous, using the name of your character or a pronoun to start each sentence. A better exercise would be to write 200 or 500 sentences about this character, but 100 sentences is still enough of a stretch to make this useful.
You can write your sentences in a list, or (what I personally prefer) a couple of long paragraphs. Clear your mind and keep this stream-of-consciousness. Really push yourself and your creativity. I bet you'll discover all kinds of things about your pup that they never told you before.
As always, Writing Workshops are completely optional. Have fun! :)
ETA: You can still contribute to the last WW, "I remember..."
