How Do Your Writing Exercises Work? Essentially, I go to a “Single Word Prompt Generator” and have it throw a random word at me. Then I go to Unsplash.com and use that word to search their database of images, and scroll through for something that catches my attention. This may be something where I simply want to describe what’s in the image, or maybe it sparks a small story nugget in my brain. Regardless, I then take the picture and post it here, with credit, and proceed to write for 15 minutes. Whatever I produce, I share with you lovely people. Unedited. Typos are to be expected. Word Prompt: Belief I believe in rain. Thundering down in cascades that blind the world beyond the window pane. I believe in storm clouds. Dark on the horizon, their presence a physical pressure, charging the air and pressing against my lungs. I believe in lightning. Sheets illuminating the night, ragged forks splitting the sky asunder and connecting the earth with the realm above. I believe in tree’s. Young saplings that sway in the summer breeze, and ancient monstrosities that grow their girth with every passing century. I believe in fire. It’s cleansing heat ravaging the earth, and clearing the path for the new, the fresh, and next generation. I believe in the young doe. As she teaches her first fawn how to scavenge for food in the winter months. I believe in snow, coating the earth in crystalline white. Placing a perfect powder across the land and sending creatures into the dark sleep, the long night. I believe in the aurora borealis. Lights playing across the sky in a myriad of shades, dancing across the night sky in a performance never to be repeated, for chosen eyes only. I believe in rainbows. In the arch of colour across a grey sky and in the play between light and water, the only time their touch can be seen. I believe in nature. In her beauty, in her power, in her dangers and in the way she can be seen in both the hurricane and tsunami, but also in the butterfly and the bumble bee. I believe in nature. What do you believe in? #Writing #Original #Writing Exercise #Ari Writes #Arista Writes
