For most of us, there are times when we lose our creative momentum and it seems like we couldn't come up with a novel idea if it was slapped us on the face. However, it's good to know that this is only temporary. Sometimes, the mind just needs time to process what has been written in the past, before it can move on. In fact, hitting a blind spot in your writing may be a sign that you need to take a mental break for a while and not try to force yourself. Perhaps, your mind is too wrapped up in other matters and/or life just seems to get in the way. But how long should this last? If you still have the itch to write, but can't seem to get those words down, weekly writing exercises with some interesting prompts just might do the trick.
Here is your first one: Choose one of the following and write for 10 minutes. 1)Write about a habit you have that is difficult to break. 2)Begin a story with, 'There was once a chance I didn't take.' 3)Use these words in your story: 'setback, money, finances, health, friends, success.' 4)Use these words in your story: 'funny, falling, fabulous, famous, fruit.' 5)Use the story line that you wake up and look in the mirror, but the face looking back isn't yours. (All exercises are taken from my tele-class course entitled"So You Want To Be An Author" presented through The TeleConnection.
