Here are 11 creative writing exercises to get you started:

1. Answer 3 questions. 

In this exercise, you’ll use three questions to stimulate creative thought. You can write these questions yourself, but I’ll give you some examples to show you what to do.
You want to answer the questions as quickly as you can, with whatever ideas pop into your mind.
Write as much or as little as you wish, but just allow the words to flow without pondering too much what you want to say.
Example 1:

1. 
   Who just snuck out the back window?
   
2. 
   What were they carrying?
   
3. 
   Where were they going?
   

Example 2:

1. 
   Who is Ethan?
   
2. 
   Why is he crying?
   
3. 
   What is he going to do about it?
   

Example 3:

1. 
   Whose house is Julia leaving?
   
2. 
   Why was she there?
   
3. 
   Where is she going now?
   

2. Write a letter to your younger self.

In this exercise, you are writing to yourself at a younger age. It can be your childhood self or yourself just a few years back. You can offer advice, compassion, explanation, forgiveness, or praise.
Or you can simply recount an experience you had and how it impacted you as your adult self now.
Try to see this younger self as a real and separate person when you write the letter. This exercise helps you think about your reader as a real person with emotions — a person who can be moved and inspired by your writing.
Again, try not to overthink this exercise. Spend a few minutes deciding the core message of the letter, and then just start writing without filters.

3. Use writing prompts.

A writing prompt is an idea that jumpstarts the writing process.
The prompt can be a short sentence, a paragraph, or even a picture, but the purpose is the same — to ignite your creativity so you’ll begin writing.
Writing prompts can help you when you feel stuck while writing your book.
If you take ten minutes to work on a writing prompt, you can go back to your book writing primed to get down to business. It stimulates ideas and the creative process.
