Here are over 130 ten-minute writing exercises for you to dip into and enjoy. Approach these challenges with the minimal of mental preparation. Don't agonise over writing the "perfect" response; simply put pen to paper and start writing! Try carrying a notebook and paper with you, for the next time you find yourself with 10 minutes to fill waiting for the bus/train/doctor/etc.

Free writing
Use the free writing technique. Beginning with the words "In the beginning...", write down your stream of consciousness without stopping to think about it. When your left-brain editor kicks in and tells you to stop and re-read before your 10 minutes are up, ignore her. Remember, you're not writing a ready-to-publish Pullitzer Prize winner, just some interesting thoughts no-one else need ever read. You may be surprised where this challenge takes you.
