Boost writing skills with these exercises
Searching for words -- Steve Sorensen
Some writers seem to have no trouble finding the right words to convey their message. Words just come to them easily. But there are days that even the most gifted writers seem to just run out of the right words and ideas. For hours, sometimes even for days, all they have in front of them is a blank page. So, what happens now? What can writers do to summon words back?
Face the blank page -- Steve Sorensen
Writers need not fear, though! They need not beat themselves up if they can’t get the words out. They can take a breather if they need one. Moreover, the following exercises can help them fill up the creativity tank and upgrade their writing skills along the way. And once they are ready, they can face the blank page head on. Steve Sorensen.
Explore ideas with a drabble: Writing a drabble or a short story that doesn't exceed 100 words is an excellent way for a writer to get in the zone. They can try writing an extra scene featuring the characters from their favorite movie, show, or book. They can use 100 words to update something they have previously written and actually liked. The goal is for them to write something they enjoy without the intention of showing it to the world. Steve Sorensen.
Let the words flow with writing prompts: If a writer’s day job involves writing, then they have to train themselves to write even without inspiration. But unfortunately, when one is too tired or uninspired, the quality of the content might suffer. Writing prompts can help a writer gain ideas even from mundane phrases that they can use when conceptualizing articles. Steve Sorensen.
Warm up with an outline: Some days it can be difficult to write one good sentence. That's understandable. But if a writer has a deadline to beat, writing an outline can make one more productive. Doing so can help a writer see the bigger picture even as they stumble upon little details for work. Steve Sorensen.
