CALLING ALL COOKS

Try this for a little variation on a list poem (works for poetry or prose): write a recipe for something today -- Recipe for a Happy Marriage (or an Unhappy one!), Recipe for Humble Pie, Recipe for a Good Poem,..... Just gather your list of ingredients and put them in whatever form works for you. (This exercise can also cook up "How To" pieces.)

  1. Is this a sort of brain storming? Can I think so?

  2. Exactly! It's just an exercise to jog the Muse and bring forth the stories hiding in a writer's brain. Think what you want -- just be sure to write it down. :)
