Creative Writing Ideas

Here are some writing exercises to inspire you and broaden your perspective. Once you read them, you will probably come up with some of your own ideas, which is the point.

1. Imagine you can’t taste and describe a food by the way it smells/feels.

2. Choose an object or a color and imagine how you could describe it to a blind person, such as how it feels, or the feelings it evokes.

3. Describe something using only one sense. For instance what does a pot of boiling water sound like? Or describe your favorite (or least favorite) smell; What does rain look like, smell like, feel like?

4. Using your description from #3, and elaborate by writing about how it makes you feel.

5. Go to a park, zoo, mall, etc. find a safe, comfportable spot to sit and close your eyes. For ten minutes just listen, then writie about everything you heard. Sensing
