If you feel frustrated with a writing project, try a radical revision. Nurture risk today and make connections you have not considered. Jump into the wild.
Take a look at characters in mythology. How would they do in today's world? Imagine Pandora shopping on Rodeo Drive. What if Atlas decided to play professional football? Would Athena make the Olympic archery team? Would Zeus use his powers to run for President of the United States?
What if Socrates met Shakespeare and helped him rewrite "The Tempest"?
Take characters from your favorite books and have them play together.
Experiment with sounds of words on the page. Sing your writing.
Try writing in two languages at once - one word at a time. Does one language add to the other?
Write a story this way. Dialogue with an emotion. Create a character from an emotion and develop a persona.
Make up words and see how far you can take them.
Experiment with conflicting ideas.Try for color sounds and sights that taste a certain way.
Find humor in mysterious places.
If you do a freewrite, your mind will carry you into a variety of experiences. Start by writing an emotion across the top of the page. Then let your mind go. After 15 minutes, begin with the ending and write a story.
Play. Play. Play. If you find your internal editor invading your playground, write yourself out of the judgment.
Creative Write: Nurture your freedom to risk and choose one of the above for a fun write.
