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.

How did I go from Jellyfish, to Ancient Greek Statues, for example? Well, now you can see how I did that. I could have written about a powerful goddess, who lived in the depths of the ocean, and controlled Jellyfish, but instead I decided to show how my mind made connections between the initial inspiration, and the final product. #Writing #Original #Writing Exercise #Ari Writes #Arista Writes
