Ten Automatic Writing Prompts

Start the new year off right…. and write! Sit down right now and use one of these automatic writing prompts. Before you start writing with purpose, warm up. Get your brain used to the idea of writing. Give yourself a small win. Get words on the page in a warm up and it will be easier to do when you start on your project.

Automatic Writing

The goal is simple. Give yourself a topic and a time limit. 2 minutes works well. Write for the entire time limit without stopping. If you don’t really like the topic, write about that. If you get stuck, write about being stuck. If you have to repeat the words “I am stuck” over and over you have fulfilled the exercise. This is an act of writing exercise not a content exercise. All you have to do is get words on the page.
