Timed Writing: 15 minutes on waiting
7
April 2009
Sit for a few moments and think about the action of waiting. What do people do when they are waiting? Do they fidgit? Pace? Hum Show Tunes?
Take a few minutes to think about all the variable ways in which someone might wait, then get a timer and set it for fifteen minutes. Write, for fifteen minutes, on the subject of waiting.
Any character, any setting, just so long as it is about waiting for something or someone or… Maybe your subject is a writer that is waiting for the clock to tick down to zero?
