“Unleash Your Potential: Discover the Surprising Benefits of Stepping Beyond Your Comfort Zone!”
Activity
Below, you’ll find a few activities that will prompt you to explore unfamiliar territory in your writing. Choose a type of writing that you’ve never attempted before, or choose something you’ve only dabbled in. Pick a form or genre that you’ve struggled with in the past. Just pick something that you haven’t mastered, and then dive in. It won’t take long:
- Write a piece of flash fiction under a thousand words.
- Write a hundred-word poem.
- Write a thousand-word topical essay.
- Compose a newspaper column.
- Write three pages of a script.
If you’re not ready to try a completely new form of writing, then expand within your preferred form. If you write horror stories, try writing a piece of contemporary fiction. If you write free-verse poetry, try writing a few form poems. If you write personal essays, try writing a response essay or a descriptive essay.
