May: Random Combinations.

Published May 3, 2013 | By Laura

For May, try dividing a piece of paper into four columns.

In the first column, list as many types of people as you can. For example, fireman, Grandparents or Teacher.

In the second column, list as many places as you can like a petrol station in Scotland or a hill in France.

On the third column, list as many historical events as you can think of, for example, the battle of Hastings or the first man on the moon.

In the final column, list as many names as you can think of.

Once you’ve done that, circle a random selection in each column and combine them all. Write about that particular situation and then post in the comments.

If there is a piece of work you’d like to post for review that isn’t related to this exercise then you’re welcome to post.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
