In highschool I took a creative writing course. I will share with you my all time favorite writing exercise with you as the first of more to come:
Imagine a person who is idly gazing out of a window. It could be any person, anywhere, out of any window. What are they looking out at? What is going on in the outside world? Why are they not out there? First, start by describing the scene both inside and out. Once you've done that, sculpt a short story around it. Add a conflict. Remember, this can be either an internal or external conflict. Or both. Since this is a short story, concentrate on your verbs and descriptions, make sure the reader feels like they are there. Feel free to share it on here and good luck!
