Jump Write In

Timing is everything when writing a story with suspense and intrigue. For your writing warm up today, write a memoir or poem about a childhood experience in which you felt scared and excited both at the same time. Maybe it was the first time you used a ouija board, or took your first roller coaster ride,  or walked home at night through a graveyard.  Describe in detail what the fear and awe felt like. Did you have a lump in your throat, a dry throat, lose your voice, or scream loudly? Did your body shake, or did you run as fast as you could? Embelish the suspense, keep the reader on the edge of their seat as long as you can before concluding your story. Have fun!

Until next time,

Walk in beauty, write life with passion!
