Top Tip Of The Week

Fabulous Five

If you’re finding it difficult to come up with subjects to write a story about, clear you mind and then jot down the next five things that come into your mind. It can work wonders for kick-starting that creative writing process. Here’s the five things that came into my mind when I tried this for myself:

  • face
  • mirror
  • white
  • bat
  • mist

And here’s  the story I came up with:

She peered into the mirror. Her reflection blinked back at her. Then the mist came swirling and swaying. A face appeared.

She opened her mouth.

“Don’t bother,” the mirror said, “you aren’t the fairest of them all. You were once, but you’re an ugly old bat now. I mean it.”

Snow White had to admit, age hadn’t done her any favours.
