Exercise 3: "First Line, Last Line" (15 minutes) Start by writing the first line of a story. It can be anything that comes to mind. Then, write the last line of the same story without worrying about how you'll get there. Fill in the middle of the story to connect the first and last lines. This exercise challenges you to create a cohesive narrative while embracing spontaneity. Prompt 1: "Write a Letter" Imagine you're writing a heartfelt letter to your future self, offering advice, encouragement, or reflections on your current life. What would you say? Prompt 2: "The Mysterious Object" Describe a mysterious object you find on a deserted beach. What is it, and how did it get there? Explore the story behind this object. Prompt 3: "In Someone Else's Shoes" Write a short story from the perspective of someone who is very different from you in terms of age, gender, background, or occupation.
