(any number will do but pick a number and stick with it, this helps) Then try connect as many of them as possible in a poem, or story.(note) visualize the object, or strive to remember the emotion of the experience while reconstituting it into a new writing experience or piece. <br /><br />2. Try to hommage the style of a favorite writer without blindly aping it, find your own space in the tone, style, structure or formulas of someone who's poems you love.<br /><br />3. Similar to exercise 1. Try to relate a specific emotional state or experience to a seemingly unrelated specific physical place, physical object, or item.<br /><br />4. Deconstructionist, take some your work or someone elses writing on the computer and chop it down to as few words as possible. Just cut and past words right out of it. Like bringing a picture back to a sketch to see where the roots and the framework of the language really is. How much can you remove before the words seem to have no connection. You'll start to see relationships between words that you did not initially recognize as valuable.<br /><br />I've posted some examples of a couple of these exercises in my own blog, good luck.<br /><br />C.W.
