What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What if? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers prompts — The Exercise: Choose a central dramatic incident from your life. *Write about it in first person, and then write about it in third person (or try second person!) Write separate versions from the point of view of each character in the incident. *Have it happen to someone ten or twenty years older or younger than yourself. *Stage it in another country or in a radically different setting. *Use the skeleton of the plot for a whole different set of emotional reactions. *Use the visceral emotions from the experience for a whole different storyline. The Objective: To become more fluent in translating emotions and facts from truth to fiction. To help you see the components of a dramatic situation as eminently elastic and capable of transformation. To allow your fiction to take on its own life, to determine what happens and why in an artful way that is organic to the story itself. As Virginia Woolf said, "There must be great freedom from reality."
