It’s just my luck that I would go to write a post on Thursday, have it swallowed up by the WordPress update, and think to myself: No worries, I’m going to post a writing exercise on Friday anyway … and then forget to post said writing exercise. It’s kind of like putting the baby down for a nap and then the mailman comes, the dogs bark, and the nap doesn’t exist anymore …
So, in the interest of preserving my streak and also posting stuff (because that’s what writers with writing blogs do), here is the lucky writing exercise the 13th!
Exercise 13: Your characters are on a road trip, driving along, seeing the sights. Maybe they are on a deadline. Maybe they are just out for a joy ride. Maybe they’re on their way to Missouri to clear out a nest of vamps. In any case, they see something on the side of the road that they just have to stop and check out.
Write a short piece that clues us in as to what they saw, and why it made them stop in their tracks.
Sorry, what did you say you wanted to do? You wanted to get some writing done? Good luck!
