New Adventures in Writing

Hi everyone!

Since I started a blog recently, and I started a playwright's workshop last Saturday, I thought to combine the writing exercises into a blog. This will be a good record-keeper for myself, as well as give fellow writers inspiration for working out and nurturing their creative juices. Writing is health for the mind, and I'm hoping this will be a great way to keep the mind toned and the juices flowing...

So who wants to go on this writing workout with me???

How this blog works:
If you'd like to participate, please leave it in the comments section. I like to see progress, so hopefully you'll see me (any yourself in you participate) getting toned in the next few weeks.

Figuring you're here and you'd like to participate, simply follow the Workout exercise. Once you are finished, take a break and read the Stretch Break that follows. You'll see what you've learned and perhaps realize what the workout was for. Also, the stretch breaks involve examples of inspiration by referring to successful plays and playwrights so you can continue on if you want to try the workout again.

See you at the writer's gym!
