Writing Warm Up - Sounds I've never Heard

Here is a short but interesting exercise that's great as a warm up for writing.

Write a list of sounds you have never heard.

Click here to read a few things that 10 - 12 year old writers thought about.

This is just a short list, why not aim for 20 or 30? Stretch yourself.

If you find it a little challenging, think of places you've never been, people you've never met.

I often kick off a workshop by suggesting one idea - such as - I've never heard Johnny Depp say he loves me (yet)

(although I did recently see a car number plate that read - MRS DEPP).

But you get the idea. It's fun to share this writing exercise with a friend or group. It's bound to cause a few giggles.

Happy Writing
