Its probably no secret that I've been having some trouble with my muse lately. I found the thingy below (and its very similar to an activity in the 'writer's toolbox' Aspie sent me, just without the lollypop sticks) and I have found it very helpful, and really rather fun.
Let me know what you think, or if you feel like having a go, post up any extracts you feel comfortable sharing and I'll throw some points or something your way :)
Do a five-minute sprint on each of the following words. Start with the very first thing that occurs to you and then write without stopping for five minutes. Then go on to the next word. Don’t skip any. This will increase your nimbleness as a writer:
Betrayal
Wrinkles
Imperfections
Hair
Teeth
Joy
Peanut butter
Hunger
Initiation
