Writing Wednesday #1

It's finally up! Welcome to the first Writing Wednesday where we will be doing a writing activity called 'The Word Hoard'. Have you ever heard about this writing activity? If not, watch this video or read this to find out!

Here's what you need to do:

1. Grab a random book
2. Open to a random page
3. Close your eyes and point to a part of the page--the word under your finger is your word!
4. Write down that word as well as the three words before and after it. You will now have a seven word sentence.
5. Write that sentence over and over again for five minutes. Make sure to not think about anything else. Let the words just pour onto the page!
6. After five minutes is done, read your mess of words backwards. Find a combination of words that resonate with you, may it inspire you or evoke some kind of emotion.
7. Write a short story or poem and use your combo words in it at least once. For an extra challenge, do what I do in the video and try and write one in five minutes!

Let me know what you think or how you went. If you're curious as to how I went, give the video a watch!

Also, if you're curious, the music in the video is called 'Sally Goodin'' by Nat Keefe with The Bow Ties.

That's it from me. Remember to ignite the story and I'll see you again soon!
