Writing Ideas- Activities For Your Book

     When you feel like writing but nothing is coming out, try expanding your vocabulary.  On separate sheets of paper write a word that covers a broad spectrum of ideas.  It can be a place, a character, an idea, or an action or feeling.  Go through a dictionary and begin to list words under the idea and so on, that could also mean the same thing.  A short example that I have done is with the word cursed.


Cursed
-abandoned
-abash
-abate


Now these do not directly mean cursed but can make you feel that way sometimes.
