I usually go in a library to change books or do some research... This is what Sue gets up to!
This is a great exercise
to do if you have a few spare minutes in a Library!
Go to the Fiction section
and pick a shelf.
Jot down the title of
every fifth book. Stop when you’ve written down ten titles.
Create a poem from the
list. It doesn’t have to rhyme – or make sense for that matter. The main thing
is to keep your pen moving!
Then close your eyes and
pick three of the titles and see if you can link them to form a story.
This exercise also works well
with CD tracks.
If a stronger idea emerges
once you start writing, then go with it. Feel free to adapt or change titles to
suit the story as it develops.
Have fun!
