Writing exercises

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Practice is one of the best ways of developing and improving your creative writing skills.  Most  university professors ask their students to complete small exercises in creative writing and these can be completed by any one interested in improving their skills.

Some of these exercises are:

  • Start with ten individual sentences. From each sentence, create ten more sentences that are connected to the individual sentence. When you complete the exercise, you will have written a total of 100 sentences.
  • e is one of the most commonly used letter in English language, so writing  sentences, or a small paragraph without any word that has an “e” is another exercise in creative writing.
  • Write an essay of 500 words related to your childhood.

There are many universities that offer a course in creative writing with low residency requirements.  The student has to spend only a few days  a  month (typically 7 to 10 days)  in the classroom for face to face interaction.  The remaining coursework can be done at home as per the students preference.

You should ensure that the university is properly accredited.
