Set a kitchen timer for ten minutes and write the longest sentence you possibly can. Close your eyes and write with absolutely no punctuation. The idea of this exercise is to escape from the rules of writing so that your imagination is free to draw from your own very personal experiences and insights. Write whatever thought pops into your mind, and try to expound on every idea that appears. Eventually you will discover a theme or idea that you will want to revisit.
Writers are a special group of people.
They need to interact with other writers for support and inspiration, as well as the occasional kick in the pants. If you are not already involved in a writer s group, try to acquaint yourself with one. There are literally thousands of groups you can join via the Internet. If you are a writer, then to go deeper it s safe to say that you are a great observer. Every artist has a deep well within their mind where ideas and emotions connect to form stories.
