A writing exercise I like from my Brown Bag writing group is “Twenty-Five Words.” We go around the table and, one by one, say a word (or short phrase.) It can be any word that comes to mind, or sometimes words based upon a pre-determined theme. The object of the exercise is to write a story using as many of the words (or short phrases)as possible. Here are twenty-five words for January. Set your timer for thirty minutes and try to write children’s short story. Try to use as many of the words as possible:
The thing is...
Pool
Room
Banish
Change
Lost
Cougar
Bear
Camping
Fish
How did this happen?
I forget
Beautiful moment
Sorry
Pursue
Circus
Fight
Craft
Fruit
What do I do now?
Random
Totally
You just made that up
Click
Scratchy
