Here are a few writing tidbits for inspiration.

  1. Put on some music and write whatever it makes you think about. Headphones work best for this.
  2. Turn the sound (and captioning) off the television and watch a program you’ve never seen before. Can you tell what’s happening? How? Jot down some descriptions of movements, facial expressions, etc. that tell you what the actors’ moods are. Now, choose a scene from one of your works and rewrite it using some of these ideas.
  3. If your boss were an animal, what kind would he/she be?
  4. You are an incredibly brilliant mad scientist. What will be your first experiment?
  5. List all the phobias you can think of. Now, list some "odd" phobias that you haven’t heard of. For example, fear of pizza, rubber bands, snow shovels, ferrets, etc. Write a story about a character that has an unusual phobia.
