Wednesday Writers Workshop: The Blind Point & Write Exercise

Here’s a quicky for you:  Pick up the book or magazine that is closest to you.  Without looking, open it to a page.  Without looking, stick your finger on some point on that page.  Now, open your eyes to see what you’ve pointed to.  Whatever it is, take 15-20 minutes to write whatever comes into your head about it.

My magazine was InStyle.  The page I opened it to was 442, a feature about watches. My finger hit the Diamond and stainless steel with calfskin strap by Philip Stein, selling for a mere $2,650 at Neiman Marcus.  Come back tomorrow to see what I wrote.

But first, do the Blind Point & Write exercise yourself.
