Ways to Make Writing Fun

Writing Should be Fun and Easy

• Write with no rules
• Look for inspiration
• Keep a journal
• The Cliffhanger Game
• Have fun with it

Writing With No Rules

• Don't worry about grammar and punctuation
• Writing without worrying about rules gives a sense of freedom
• Use your imagination and let it run free; worry about editing later
• No rules=More room for creativity
• Writing by hand would be best

LOOK FOR INSPIRATION

• You can find inspiration anywhere
• Music, art, photography, food, scenery
• Reading is also inspiration for writing
• Don't look for inspiration; just let it come to you
• Losing inspiration is okay!

KEEP A JOURNAL

• Keeping a journal allows you to write about life through your eyes
• Journalling can also be a "no rule" place
• A great outlet for emotions, not just negative
• In a personal journal, you can write what you see and feel at the moment
• Looking back on journal entries is fun...sometimes

THE CLIFFHANGER GAME

• You can make a game with friends or family or even alone
• Write a scenario or drabble and leave it for the next person
• Let the story continue until one person ends it and makes a new story
• The Cliffhanger game can be done with books too
• Fun and easy writing exercise

Have Fun!

• Reading is fun, but so is writing
• Where reading is about absorbing, writing is about creating
• Many people fear writing because they don't feel creative
• If you aren't paid for it, it's just a hobby. Don't worry!
• Writing is supposed to feel good, not stressful
