Three days of balmy weather has gone to my brain.
Here are a few thoughts to stimulate nature writing:
1. Think of the sunset from the sun’s point of view. Write a poem, an essay or whatever inspires you.
2. Write a poem with each line containing “I used to . . . but now I . . .”
3. Open a book, write down the first sentence you read and create a joke, a short story or any other written work that inspires you.
4. Find a favorite recipe. Rewrite the recipe as a poem, a song or a narrative.
5. Select a journal entry or rough draft of written work. Examine the sentence lengths and paragraph lengths. Then rewrite the piece to create a different tone or impact.
6. Freewrite for ten minutes on a topic that inspires your passion.
