Wonderful Words

I’ve covered many different ways of using words to get your creative juices flowing; so this Monday, how about taking a look outside your front window? What do you see? A man running down the road? Is he running to catch a train? Perhaps he’s dashing home after receiving some devastating news about a loved one. On the other hand, he could be a criminal, fleeing from the scene of a crime. 

Or maybe there’s a young child wandering up and down the road. Does he/she look lost? A man/woman might grab their hand, and whisk them away. Was it a parent? A kidnapper? 

There might be no one in the street. Why is it so quiet? Has something happened? A zombie apocolypse? Alien take-over? Floods? Snow?

So, take a peek out your window – you never know where it might lead!

  1. Your suggestion is a ‘basic’ element of my writing creative juices. I develop my best ideas while sitting somewhere, such as an outside table of a coffee bistro, and just allowing the world around me amble by.

  2. I recently moved from a quiet cul-de-sac to a busy through-road, and we have shops literally 4 doors down from our house. There is so much activity that it is beginning to distract from my writing – I keep looking out of the front window to see what is happening! All of these people offer plenty of character profile ideas, however 😉

  4. When I first read this suggestion, I was at my digs and looked out of the window at the same scene I see every day…but later that day I was at work looking out onto a busy London high street….this was the result:
