    As we head into this Memorial Day Weekend here in the States, I briefly toyed with the idea of centering this week’s theme around the holiday. However, I decided to go in a different direction, namely, providing a theme-neutral prompt and allowing you, the writer, to incorporate the theme of your choice. Exercise 15: Diner…

    This excerpt is a sketch in response to this week’s writing prompt, Hidden Monsters. I decided to go with the same universe as my previous writing exercise, Side Roads. ~ ~ ~ The man lounging behind the counter looks like he might be a little too interested in what I’m buying, but then Jacob comes…

    This may come as a shock, but I actually did last week’s exercise, and am posting this week’s writing prompt almost on time! (I try to get them up by 9 a.m.) This exercise was inspired by my current work in progress, namely the sample chapter for a nonfiction book on domestic violence. It’s going…

    (This post is a writing exercise from last Saturday’s writing prompt. Join us every week for #WriteFridays – read, write, post, and share!) Side Roads I lock the door behind me. We’re in the middle of nowhere, and there’s nothing in the car worth taking, but it’s a force of habit. My sunglasses immediately fog…

    It’s just my luck that I would go to write a post on Thursday, have it swallowed up by the WordPress update, and think to myself: No worries, I’m going to post a writing exercise on Friday anyway … and then forget to post said writing exercise. It’s kind of like putting the baby down…

    I logged in this morning to post my writing prompt, and realized I’ve been falling behind on participating in my own writing exercises. So, I’m going to put some extra effort in this week to start scheduling some more interviews, as well as posting some more exercise drafts. Where is that coffee…? This week’s exercise…

    It’s been quite the crazy week, starting with a 10-hour drive down from New York, and followed by non-stop paperwork excitement. I sat down this morning to write up an exercise, and ended up having to go take care of some other things. I completely forgot what I was going to write – I’m sure…

    I’m currently working with my first client for my writing coach business, Scribbler Coach, and so far it’s been a lot of fun. She is writing a novel based on the fictionalization of her life. Many times, when people tell me they want to write a novel based on their lives, I am a little…

    Usually when I sit down to come up with these writing exercises, I look back over the week and pinpoint one or two events or incidents that spur the creative juices. This week — was just too crazy. From attending a court hearing, to driving from New Jersey to North Carolina which meant literally driving…

    For Exercise 6 7 (as Noah has pointed out multiple times, I need to include the Twitter exercise I put out the week I crashed my Web site) I decided to do something a little different. The following writing revision exercise takes a look at something you already have on paper, and focuses on one aspect of the…
