- Creative Writing: 7 Exercises To Generate Ideas For Your Next Story.
- There are a lot of information and online courses about structuring and plotting your story, character sketches, writing dialogue etc. But there is little on HOW TO ACTUALLY GENERATE IDEAS for stories. This is probably the most frustrating part of writing - especially if you have an idea for a story but need to add flesh to the bones. It is because of said frustration that most books, manuscripts and other written-work never see the light.This course consists of a few practical “Getting Ideas” exercises that you can do at home or at work or anywhere else:• Free Writing• Photo Exercise • Column Exercise• End becomes Beginning• History Exercise• Conversation Exercise• Steal From YourselfYou will also learn about the importance of an Idea Bible, the Five Ws, and a Character’s Circle of Life - all great tools to help you expand (and store) your current ideas or concepts. All writers have different approaches to their writing, so work through the lessons, push yourself to try all the exercises, and continue with the ones you feel help the most. All of the best on your writing-journey..
