Are you looking at a blank page right now?

I’ve been there too and I know what it’s like.

But I also know how to get past it – by writing.

Writing exercises are a great way to take you from the blank page and stuck feeling and on into your writing stride.

If you truly want to write more productively and are willing to work towards this, then you are in the right place.

I personally love writing and I hope I can inspire you to feel the same.

Writing takes practice, lots and lots of practice.

Ten-minute exercises are a great way to practice.

Developing a regular writing exercise routine is the most useful thing you can do to improve your writing and increase your creativity.

MAKE A COMMITMENT

To start:

Make a firm commitment.

Do some writing exercises each week.

Decide for yourself which days and times suit you best.

Pick a number of exercises you intend to do.

Make it realistic – if you can only do one that’s fine. As you get used to the exercises this number can increase.

Remember the golden hour – some people writer better at dawn and others late at night.

Experiment and see what time suits you.

The following exercises are short although you can make them longer if you like.

TEN MINUTE WRITING EXERCISES – BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There are ten exercises below and each one comprises a simple set of three questions.

Each one should be answered as quickly as you can.

Don’t stop and think just start writing and keep going.

Remember, there are no right or wrong answers – only ideas.

It is up to you to decide whether the ideas appeal to you enough to make you want to develop them further.

I suggest trying them all and see what happens.

At this stage, it is best to view your writing as an experiment and you should enjoy it.
