Sharpen Your Writing

Wordsmiths member Judy Rigby has found the following website helpful to her writing.

For anyone torn between putting poetry or prose onto paper, rather than have stories and rhymes running through your mind, you might find some helpful methods here too.

WORDSMITHS EXERCISE FOR OUR FUN DAY WEDNESDAY THE 31 AUGUST

   

For this exercise, write two short stories to complement each other, set in a holiday resort (in a location of your choice) for the above two characters. 

Writing in first person for both, show each one’s personality, style, attitude, and philosophy, i.e. seductive, troubled, relaxed or dark and dangerous, etc., etc. 

They can be a couple, enemies, total strangers or whatever combination you like. 

Make sure you keep the focus of the two stories on the location and these two characters only. There are to be no other people in either story.

Up to two hundred and fifty words for each of them, with a maximum of five hundred words total.
