Believe me -- I know that sometimes the hardest thing to do is to just get going and write something. That's why I like to do some creative writing exercises before I start writing things like poetry and short stories. These exercises help jump start my writing so that the blank page doesn't seem all that bad. I think of these as a way to limber up the brain just as a runner takes a few minutes to jog or walk before going on a strenuous run, I use one or more of these creative writing ideas jump start my creative writing. Describe the Present One of my favorite descriptive exercises is to describe what is happening right now. Set the timer for 5-10 minutes and describe what's going on around you. Think about all five senses. If I were doing this exercise right now I'd talk about how the sun is hanging low on the horizon and I can hear the click of the timer . . . you get the picture. Go for a Walk Don't think walking or physical exercise in general helps stimulate the creative process? I can't tell you how many times I've felt stuck only to find that the best remedy is going walking. When I walk and exercise it gives me time to think about the project that I feel stuck on or it even helps me generate ideas. Staring at the blank screen to the point that it produces anxiety is not healthy. Walking is. Even five minutes could be just enough. Bring a small notebook and a pen just in case. Thought Dumping This goes by other terms such as "free-writing" but I like to call it "thought dumping". As creative writing tools goes, this is one of my favorites. All you need to do is set the timer for 5-10 minutes and write exactly what's on your mind as fast as you can -- even if all you can think of is what you'll be serving for dinner. If you take the time to try doing any of these creative writing ideas before you sit down to write, you should notice an improvement in your creativity and productivity after a few days.
