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.

A different perspective
One of the challenges as a writer is to keep ones work fresh and interesting. A simple way to do this is to put yourself in someone, or something, else's shoes. I want you to choose the body you will be seeing and feeling the world through. Choose someone (or something, as in perhaps a dog or cat) close to you, so that you can write confidently about their environment and experiences. Think about a recent interaction involving them, and retell it AS them. You might be surprised at what comes out!
