Writing Exercise: Create a story through three questions

In this exercise, you’ll use three questions to stimulate creative thought. You can write these questions yourself, but I’ll give you some examples to show you what to do.

You want to answer the questions as quickly as you can, with whatever ideas pop into your mind. Write as much or as little as you wish, but just allow the words to flow without pondering too much what you want to say.

Example 1:

1.            Who just snuck out the back window?

2.            What were they carrying?

3.            Where were they going?

Example 2:

1.            Who is Tony?

2.            Why is he crying?

3.            What is he going to do about it?

Example 3:

1.            Whose house is Sonya leaving?

2.            Why was she there?

3.            Where is she going now?
