Writing Practice

Regular writing warmups, freewrites, and general practice.

• Exercise: Voice/ Point of View

  A bit of writing practice, using an exercise recommended by Ursula Le Guin in Steering the Craft. The setting is a fictionalised version of my memories of Anacapa Island. Written a few days ago during my morning commute.

• I Don't Want to Write

  Warming up those old muscles... why not write about my struggle to write?

• At the Horizon

  Written after reading the first two essays in Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury. A freewrite exercise.

• Pattern Birds

  Things I see walking home instead of taking the train.

• Faery Gold

  I spend too much time in the train station, I think.

• Monk on the Train

  A unique observation in Town Hall station.

• L'homme de l'hôtel de ville

  A true storylet drawn from personal experience.

• The Discovery

  A passing fancy. Flash Fiction.
