The first step to virtually any kind of writing is to know your audience. The audience of your creative writing can determine the topic that you choose to write about. Ask yourself what your audience would be interested in reading. Think about what may surprise or shock your audience. If you are unsure about your actual audience, create a fictional reader in your mind. You could even give your fictional reader a name. Writing about what is interesting to you will help your writing flow more easily, help you generate fresh content, and lead to a better final product. It matters less what you freewrite about than that you do it. Pick a situation that seems interesting to you: perhaps a person is lost in the desert, or perhaps they are waiting to find out if they have an illness, or perhaps they are trying to decide whether to tell someone they are in love. Then, freewrite based on that situation, thinking about what might happen, what they might be thinking, conversations they might have, etc. Write nonstop for a predetermined amount of time (most people do 10-15 minutes.) Do not stop writing, even if you need to just write "blah blah blah" in the middle of a sentence. Hopefully, you will write yourself towards a useful thought or idea through freewriting. Even if it does not give you content you can use in your creative writing, it can be a valuable warm-up. There are whole books of writing prompt ideas for creative writing, and several websites that contain lists of prompts. Treat the prompt as a beginning point but don't be afraid to leave the topic of the prompt. Check your library for a book of prompts so that you don't have to buy one. Keep a list of ideas of things to write about on you all the time. If you think of an idea, write it down. Go to your working list any time you feel like you need help coming up with a topic. Your environment contains a rich array of items that can serve as writing prompts, so just look around and write about something that you see. Close your eyes, then open them and write about the first thing you see, regardless of what it is. Look at the color of something nearby, and write a list of other things that are the same color until you feel inspired. Look at an item near you and try to remember the last time you saw a similar item. Who were you with? What were you doing? Then write a story, real or fictional, about that memory. Find a unique item in your line of sight, then imagine that you are seeing it for the first time. Write about someone from a different culture seeing the item for the first time out of context and speculating about what it is used for.

summary: Identify your audience. Know what interests you. Freewrite about something. Consult a list of writing prompts. Keep an idea list. Look around you.

Many runners like to lean forward, as this causes a temporary increase in speed, but you should try to remain upright while sprinting. Good posture will help you run more consistently, run faster, and will help to prevent injuries! Keep your spine straight, and your head up and looking forward. It may help to imagine a string attached to the top of your head being pulled upward. Make sure that your feet are landing directly underneath your hips, in order to avoid creating too much impact shock to your legs, which can cause injury. Sprinting with a more natural step will help you also to have a more efficient stride. With each stride, lift your front knee, and straighten your back leg. Keep your strides short and quick at first, and gradually lengthen your strides as you get closer to the finish line. Cadence is the average number of steps you take with both feet in a minute. You can determine what your cadence is by counting the number of times either your left or right foot strikes the ground in a minute and multiply that number by two. Top runners generally have a cadence over 180 steps per minute. Try increasing your cadence by using a metronome to train your body to recognize a rhythm that beats at a particular tempo. Keep in mind that it can take 6-8 weeks to improve your cadence. Making sure to keep your shoulders and arms relaxed rather than hunched up, allow your arms to move at the same rhythm as your legs, keeping them moving in a straight line rather than from side to side. Try keeping your hands open, and bringing them backward as you sprint. Get your arms in the proper position by pretending that you are lightly holding a small bird in each hand. Proper arm motion will help you move your legs more quickly as well. Try putting your quick foot (the one you use to catch yourself when someone pushes you forward) in the rear. Right before you start sprinting, take a couple of deep breaths to super-oxygenate your lungs.

summary: Stand up straight. Avoid over-striding. Increase your cadence. Pump your arms. Start off on the right foot.

A disturbing thought is something that comes into your mind out of nowhere. Disturbing thoughts often focus on violence, sex, and past traumatic events, but they are not limited to these categories alone. Psychologists call these types of thoughts intrusive thoughts because they pop into our heads, often without warning, and cause us distress. Disturbing thoughts can vary greatly from person to person. Some examples of disturbing thoughts include: Imagining dropping or throwing a baby while you are holding an infant. Even though you would never do this, it is a common intrusive thought. Imagining running over your boss with your car. If your boss has upset you, you may find yourself thinking about something along these lines even though you would never actually do it. Having violent sexual fantasies that arouse you, even if you'd never act on them or want to have these things done to you. Reliving a disturbing experience, such as a car accident or an assault. Many people have disturbing thoughts and are able to let them pass with little additional thought. Even though most of us have these thoughts, some people worry and obsess about thoughts that they would never act on, which can cause them distress. If you are distressed by your disturbing thoughts, try to remember that you are not alone. Many people experience these types of thoughts. In most cases, having a disturbing thought that you know you would never act on is natural and it does not make you a bad person. Often, we have these thoughts because we do not want to act in the way we are imagining. Our minds sometimes wander and consider the worst possible thing that could happen in a given situation.
summary: Understand what a disturbing thought is. Know that disturbing thoughts are common. Know that having disturbing thoughts does not make you a bad person.
