WFT: Capturing a “Writing Sneeze” (A Quick Detailed Description) Look around you. Really pay attention to your surroundings. Focus on one particular thing that catches your eye. Now, describe it. Use language to try to capture the essence of what you are fixated upon; describe color, texture, shape, size, placement, and anything else that reveals what you see.

WFT: Bringing Your “Writing Sneeze” to Life Now that you have used language to capture the essence of one particular thing in your surroundings (describing its color, texture, shape, size, placement, etc.), imagine the life around it. What is the story of this object? How did it get here? To whom does it belong? Where will it go? Write a page from the story of this object. Don’t worry about its beginning or ending – just write!

WFT: Places Now that you have looked at some pictures of places, let your imagination take you there. Walk among the elements of the pictures. What is around you? What do you see? Hear? Walk around a little more. How does the place make you feel? Now, write a description of what you have experienced in your mind. Write a page from the story of this place. Again, don’t worry about its beginning or ending – just write!

WFT: Character Now that you have looked at some pictures of characters, let your imagination talk to them. What are they like? Where are they from? Where are they going? What impression do they give? Now, write a description of what you have experienced in your mind. Write a page from the story of this character or characters. Again, don’t worry about its beginning or ending – just write!
