Exercise #11: Write a short story
Bloggers also need to be good storytellers. I say it again and again: Include stories in your articles.
Here are a few ideas for short stories:
- You meet your grandfather after many years.
- You can't sleep one night.
- You are in a strange place and don't know how you got there.
- You see a ghost.
- You travel to a country you've australia phone number list never been to before.
- You wake up.
- It's raining outside.
Don't make it too complicated. Creative writing is primarily practice. Pick an idea and write for 15 minutes.
Exercise #12: Lead the Blind
Imagine a blind friend is visiting. Describe your home, your office or nature to them. Create images in their head. A particularly good exercise for writing descriptively.
Exercise #13: Forget the verbs
Write a text completely without verbs.
Example:
“Rain. Dark night. Porsche Cayenne. Accident.”
This will help you learn to shorten a text to the essential information. You can also incorporate such moments into real articles from time to time to increase the pace of the text. This will make your writing style nice and snappy.
