Earlier, I posted here about the first ever writer’s conference that I’d attended. It was fun and gave me more confidence in being a “writer.” One of the writing exercises we were asked to try came from a high school teacher. I thought it was fun and wanted to share it with all of you.
It starts, with looking through that pesky “junk mail” that seems to be in abundance every day in one’s mailbox, then select one that has a catch-phrase that grabs your attention. Take that slogan and write a story of 150-200 words. Short and sweet.
OneTouch "DoubleSure"
The teacher had suggested doing it with a religious theme. A literary publication, called The Secret Place is written solely by freelance writers, and anyone may submit original, unpublished, meditations for consideration. The submission guidelines can be found here. This is not only a wonderful way to make a little $$$, but it also will give an unpublished author something to put on a resume for future agents and editors to see.
Anyone feeling brave and want to give it a try? Please share your attempts with us!
