Ideas!
Hey campers,
As September approaches, I was trying to come up with ways to be inspired, day in and day out. Yes, I think even the most fertile of imaginations needs ways to spark some creative work.
One thing I like to do sometimes is write a character sketch based entirely on a random name. I'm a big fan of cool names and they always inspire me. Petunia conjures up something completely different than Mary, Angelike, or Red. Make them super quirky. Make them wear a hat. Is Petunia an alcoholic, is she elderly, is she curmudgeounly? What is her favorite color?
Flip through a baby naming book or website, pick out 2 intriguing names, and discover if they're friends. Maybe Bonnie and Elbert are meant to be together; maybe Becca and Alfonso are robbing a bank.
Do you have any neat writing exercises you like to get going? Post them in the Comments section.
