Exercise #22: Write from a different perspective
Choose a scene and write it not from the perspective of the “hero”, but from the perspective of his sister, his dog or his vase.
Describe what you see, feel and think from the new perspective.
Exercise #23: Create a mind map
Choose any word and write it in the middle of a piece of paper.
Now write down around this word all the thoughts, feelings, phrases, quotes and information that come to mind.
Connect the individual words with each other or with the original term.
Take 3 minutes to do this without trying to find something suitable. If the word "night" brings to mind an image of a pink unicorn, write it down.
After these 3 minutes, take 10 minutes australia phone number list and put all the written terms together into a text. It is up to you which text format you choose.
PS
I personally hate mind maps, but I included them anyway because they help many others.
Have you ever been dissatisfied with the sudden end of a story? I was very sad when “The Neverending Story” finally came to an end…
Or did you just think the ending of a book was crap?
Then now is your chance: write the sequel. Write your own, new ending.
Exercise #25: Pee on someone's leg
There are things that certain people don't want to hear.
Politicians don't like to hear that their salaries are too high.
Writers don’t like to hear that their text is boring.
Mothers don’t like to hear that their child is badly behaved.
Write down what others are keeping quiet about. What others are keeping quiet about out of “political correctness” or feigned politeness.
You don't have to publish the text, but learn to write uncomfortable truths. This will make your blog unforgettable.
