Weekly Writing Exercise

Happy Monday, writers. (Yes, I realize this is an oxymoron … I'm just trying to create a little positive energy here.)

I hope you enjoyed last week's debut writing exercise. Here's one for this second week of 2011:

Pull a random item out of your wallet and write a full page about it.

I'm already having fun with this one, having grabbed an old movie-ticket stub. And the nice thing about this exercise is that you can do it every day of the week and come up with new material every time, especially if you have a wallet in as much disarray as mine is. (Or maybe it'll  inspire organization instead.)

Either way, happy writing this week!
