These creative activities are apt to motivate even the lazy into a writing frenzy. Example activities from the book:
- Respond to a given phrase by writing with both hands at the same time.
- Finish the story…”You look through the peephole of your front door and see Santa Claus.”
- (A backwards Mad Libs) Use the lines below to write a story. Whenever you come to a word, use it.

Prompts from the book:
- “For the love of God, don’t tell me you lost the freaking map.”
- “Just where do you think you’re going with that giraffe.”
- “Ok. I paid the $20. What do the cards say?”
(There was one more title I wanted to include with this writing theme, but I’m having some trouble locating the post-it note I used to write down its info. As soon as it appears from the “laundry room sock void”, I’ll post it to the comments in this post.)
