It’s possible to relax, and
gather-up writing ideas. Or,
avail yourself to writing ideas
without much fuss.

“Is it possible?” You asked.

Yes, it’s possible.

Do an activity that relaxes
you, make a call you’ve
wanted to since last week,
or just watch your favorite
show.

A person who likes to
dance has an option
of writing about. It
relaxes you? Why?
Do some research on
the various dance styles.

Were there any studies
done stating how dancing
relaxes, helps, the body?

Write fiction and non-
fiction about it. There’s
no limit on the ideas
you can get from it.

You made the call. It was
nice to catch-up with that
person. Is there something
you can write about it?

You talked about a place
the two of you frequented?
The people?

Use the place as the
setting in a work of fiction,
or non-fiction. Or, have
characters visit it in the
present.

A character screams. He/
she sees something, or
someone. Only, the
character arrived alone.

What’s next? How would
you write it?

You turned on the television.
A scene from a movie,
commercial, ignited your
imagination?

Create the scene from
your imagination. There
shouldn’t be any
resemblance to the original.

Your characters talk, look,
different. The actions of
each character is new,
exciting. Make the scene
yours.

Think of any product
or service. Write the
benefits of your product,
service.

How would you turn it
into an article? Fiction?

Why did you pick it?
Why would people buy
your product or service?
Or, re-write the commercial.
Have fun with it.

Let’s look at other relaxing
ways to get writing ideas.

Take a walk. Who did you
see? What did you see?
You find your muse?

Take a trip to the beach.
Soak up material for
writing.

A name from the past.
Take each letter to make
new words. Sam turns into:

–Saturday, Arrives, Mocha

How would you churn out a
writing idea with those words?

Look at what I did.

Saturday night, Russ charged
over to us in a rage. His skin
appeared mocha colored.
He attacked…

What should be the next line?

Pace to a friend’s house.
On the way there, writing
ideas jump-out at you?

Let the sunshine press against
your skin. Any ideas for writing
come to mind?

Listen/look at people as they enter
and leave the mall. You can get
countless ideas.

A color that caught your attention.
Why this color? What exactly
pulled your eyes to it?

Dress differently than usual. Are
ideas bouncing into your head?
If yes, use the ideas. If no, try
another out-fit.

Act like a person you know. How
would you write about it?

Write about laughter. What is
it? How does it make you feel?
Write a scene using laughter.

What was the funniest moment
of your day? Write, at least,
five-hundred words about it.

Write about a problem in the
world. How would you solve
it? Or, would you write fiction
about it?

Slice away writing ideas as
you relax. Remember, turn a
writing idea upside down to get
as much use as possible from it.
