September Weekly Creative Writing Exercise #1: discover the story

Sep 02, 2016 16:58

In August, I taught a four week online novel coaching course and came up with creative writing exercises for the participants. The exercises were a lot of fun and I thought I'll post them here, every Friday all through September. (Thank you, kitty_fic for giving me permission to post :D). You can write fanfic or original fic.

Creative Writing Exercise #1

1. Chose one of the pictures:



Edward Hopper, Room in Brooklyn (1932)



Jeff Wall, Milk (1984)

2. Write 600 to 1000 words about the picture you've chosen. Don't analyze it, don't put it into a historical or art perspective. Simply describe the picture and discover a story in it. Note specific details and use them for your writing. You may write a description of the picture, or a short story inspired by it.

Post your writing in a comment to this post, no later than Sunday, September 4, 6pm GMT.
Do not write more than 1000 words. (Word Counter)
