Writing Practices

I recently bought a kit called A Creative Writer's Kit. Inside are Prompts & Practices as well as cards with tips. The Prompts & Practices book has daily writing practices. I have been writing them daily and thought it would be a good idea to post here.

The idea behind the daily practices is to get the creative muse working. You are supposed to write about the first thing that comes to mind for the topic of the day. Write as many words as possible, or as few as it takes to get the idea across. The writer is supposed to be able to look back and see what topics inspire and what topics just create a roadblock.

The book came with some rules and guidelines for the practices. If you are interested in something like this, check it out. I found mine at Barnes and Noble.
