This was my favorite exercise so far. Honestly, I'm going to use a few of these in the future.

I love the difference between asking "what would" and "what could". One asks for a choice, decision, commitment. The other "just" for a list of possibilities.

This is Day 7 of the 100 Day Writing Challenge by Tim Clare, a free course via podcast for writers of all levels.

Each episode has a 10 minute writing exercise, including a timer, related to some aspect of the craft. Over days and weeks, these build together to help you gain confidence and get match fit for writing whatever you want.

This course was made possible by the generous support of Arts Council England, and by the support of listeners. If you'd like to help me create more free content for authors, you can support my career by buying my novels, THE ICE HOUSE and THE HONOURS, via the links below.
