These two exercises require you to use details from your journal and spring-board to a new idea. You'll blend the real and the imaginary to create a story.
Exercise 1:
Find a favorite magazine. Select an ad that inspires you. Find another ad or photo of a person.
Write about that person in the setting or situation from the first ad. What happens? Is there a problem? How is it resolved?
Exercise 2:
1) Select three ads or photos from magazines that show both people and inspiring settings.
2) Write down a focus point or question. For example, a decision you need to make, a problem you need to solve, a subject you're interested in learning more about, or a recent complaint.
3) Select one of the magazine photos and write about your focus point from the viewpoint of the person in the photograph. Use appropriate language/vocabulary if this person is a child or teen.
