Exerceo

I'm embarking on a new project.

"The 3 A.M. Epiphany"
http://zerothreeepiphany.blogspot.com/

It's a book that I bought a Barnes & Noble a few weeks back. It consists of a variety of writing exercises normally used for novelists. Though I don't plan on writing a fiction novel any time soon, I figured this might be fun. It would be even better to do it online enabling real time input from you guys. This is how the layout works.

Each exercise consists of:

1. The Category.
These are the Categories: Point of View, Images, Characters and Ways of Seeing, Women and Men, Children and Childhood, Conversation, Thought and Emotion, Biography and Autobiography (my favorite category!), Time, History, Description, Sentences-Butting up against each other, Other People's Sentences, Play and Games, Sports, Work, Humor, Travel, Internal Structure and last but not least, Exercises for Stories in Progress.
*Whew!*

2. The Assignment.
I will tell you what the assignment is as well as the assignment number and how many words it must consist of.

3. My Story.
Self explanatory...


I'll pick which Exercises I do randomly or if you own the book, You pick. Some exercises require that I complete a different assignment first. I'll try and keep these in order or I will list what post the exercise continues from. Keep in mind that I've never done anything like this. It might be a little rough at first so don't be too harsh. You'll make me cry : )
