Since I have been busy working many hours, my writing has been neglected. Writing has become an important part of my life and I feel a little bit off if I do not get the opportunity to write. Not having the time to write has caused a little stress much in the way I feel when I do not get to exercise.
But, I am not only depriving myself, but my readers as well. Therefore, I am going to warm up my cold, creative mind and use a writing prompt. This is from One Word. The word is lock.
Part of my mind is asleep. There is a lock on the door that leads inside and no one can open it up to awaken my thoughts. Not even me. While the left side has been working overtime, the right side has been resting far too long. It will take precious wasted time for the thoughts dwelling in the right wing to get moving again after being unprovoked for such an extended amount of time. How can I break the lock? I need to get inside. Wake up! Wake up!
This was a sixty second writing prompt just to get the creative flow moving again. One Word provides that opportunity by presenting just one word to write about. It may not be your best writing, but it wakes up that side of the brain.
I also think it can be a fun activity that produces raw, unedited thoughts. That kind of writing is a great way to jump in and shake up the ideas in your head. When you are busy and feel your writing has been neglected, this is an easy exercise to keep the creativity from fading too much.
I'd like to hear what others do when their writing just needs a cold jump start. Please leave your comments.
