What are some fun writing exercises for partners?

Here are a few fun writing exercises you can try with your partner: 1. Story Cubes: Roll dice with images and create a story together based on the images. 2. Letter Exchange: Write letters to each other about a specific topic, then read them aloud. 3. Character Creation: Create characters together and write a short scene featuring them. 4. Poetry Challenge: Write a poem using a random word or phrase and share your creations.

Those sound great! Can you give me an example of the story cubes exercise?

Sure! For the story cubes exercise, you can use a set of dice that have different images on each side. Roll the dice and look at the images that come up. For example, if you roll a tree, a cat, and a spaceship, you might start your story with: 'Once upon a time, in a forest where a curious cat lived, a spaceship landed unexpectedly...' Then take turns adding to the story based on the images!

I love that idea! How long should we spend on each exercise?

It's up to you! A good starting point is to spend about 15-20 minutes on each exercise. This gives you enough time to get creative without feeling rushed. You can always adjust the time based on how engaged you both are!

Thanks! Any tips for keeping the writing fun and light-hearted?

Absolutely! Here are a few tips: 1. Stay Playful: Don’t take it too seriously; let your imagination run wild. 2. Use Humor: Incorporate funny elements or silly characters. 3. Encourage Each Other: Celebrate each other's ideas, no matter how outlandish. 4. Set a Fun Theme: Choose a light-hearted theme for your writing session, like 'silly adventures' or 'magical creatures'.
