I fell in love with writing as a child, probably because I read so many books. Words have been my escape all my life.
Writing can be time travel, a space adventure or perhaps like Alice, falling down a hole. Are you afraid of the dark? Do you love to teeter on the heights, arms up, catching the wind ready to fly? Do you prefer diving into the sea, swimming down into darkness after the fish? Close your eyes and take yourself there.
The big question is WHAT IF? What if your scooter suddenly took off? What if an alien ship rose through the floor of your dance studio? What if a whale burst through your bedroom from another dimension? What if a courier delivered a dragon to your house on Sunday morning? What if all the pollution in the world was bounced away by an army of space hoppers? What if everything you touched flew away?
You can walk in someone else’s shoes or eat their gruel. How does it taste?
You can step through a mirror or fall through a trap door and find yourself somewhere new. How does it smell? What colour is the sky?
You can be an alien queen or an insect prince. Do you have wings? What sound would they make?
Your skin could be green and your paws can have claws. Are your scales rough?
Your imagination is the only limit.
I think everyone should give it a try; otherwise how would you ever know how much fun it can be? It makes a great family activity for rainy Sundays too.
So I have written a few paragraphs to get you started in case you need ideas and I have added some photos, which might lead you somewhere else. Just click on the sub-menu.
