My Book Plus More Writing Exercises...

Rate: 18 Flag

 

Here are some more writing exercises for the brilliant scribes who populate Open saloon. When the muse is high or the muse is out partying, try these for a boost to the program.

Today's theme is about love and love scenes.  

 

One:

This one is called "If Loving passive voice is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!" That's right! Indulge your love of passive voice. Let the sexy glamour of the monkish writing style come out of you!  

Advanced writers can use this exercise to celebrate their love of passive-aggressive voice!  

 

Two:   Fan Fiction is nothing but home made porn.

1. Write a fan fiction piece on this theme:  Sherlock Holmes actually knocks boots with The Lady In Red.  Where would the boot-knocking go on? What would trigger the passionate episode? Would the orange car boot sale man from BBC be involved? Would Mycroft watch it all on secret camera because he's not getting any?

2. What if Pokemon transformed into human form...who would he be poking?

3.  Imagine that Will Smith's character in the new "Men In Black III" is bumping uglies with a beautiful woman...what if she turns out to be Tony Shaloub? What alien body part would Will Smith slap first?

4. What if Android was a man and Apple was a woman? Who would go first? What would the first one be going at first? Who would be on the bottom? Would they get a room or go at it in a public spot? 

 

Three:  Exciting new words to add to your lexicon.

Try using these phrases to liven up your next homemade porn love scene. 

Consumer culture

"...with Aloe and Vitamin E !"

The Koch Bros walked onto the filthy stage...

Global warming

Squeaky clean Sanchez 

Hands across the world

 

 

For your reference, click here for a mind shakingly funny list of dirty words that should never be used in a love scene. 

"Dash up the channel" and "hoe down" are my personal favorites! 

 

As always, never let the absence of a good idea stop you from writing! Use writing exercises to keep the words flowing whether they need to or not!

Edith! Where have you been hiding all these years?? Why, right under my OS nose, of course. How zumalicious! Passive-aggressive writing - hmmmmm, might hafta give that a chance.

Congrats on the book!
Oh, and love the title and the cover design.
I'm glad to see that the passive voice is appreciated by some writers.
Matt, your comments make me so happy! You are thanked!

Rob St Amant: Passive voice is a gift that has been unfairly maligned!
Yay! It's only the beginning for you, kiddo!

Now...where's your piratical spirit? We're really in the mood for some pirate highjinx over the weekend. Kim's at the ready, and is due to kick things off during the break in the Indy Time Trials, or so he's announced.
forgot to rate...
If I don't have a Kindle, yes even though my oldest daughter markets them, how would I access this?
Edith,gongratulations on your book!!!!!!I am really glad for you and wishing you all the best..Enjoyed your writing here today.Rated with many wishes!
I do my own exercises... thank you... but you might get a chuckle from this one: the title of my second produced play was LOVE STORIES - Dancing with the Devil.
Well I for one am not going to tell them your real name, and we met that one night out behind the bar next to the base and we smoked hash and then boinked several times while you were singing Tina Turner and drinking cheap wine you stole from the wino we tripped over in the alley. I won't say a thing Edith? Or is it Cindy? signed Ray Charles

Sorry I got confused there Zuma, taking that writing thing serious and all my lips are sealed. Will look forward to perusing your manuscript my dear friend. I'm passing the bling to you now.....o/e
Your writing exercise sounds fun. My demeanor became evil when I read the Koch brothers prompt but, of course, I could get sued for libel if I used it. Pooey.
Your book has been downloaded onto my computer. It will get read next week. The weekend entails a trip outta town (more songs will be recorded!). Jeez, a whole book got written at your end in the time taken here between my first couple paragraphs and any others that get written...
I wrote one for you...

Poor Woman: I's half way through volume two! I need to have it done by mid June. Then I can start on volume III. My goal is to dump all three on the market in September.

STATHI STATHI: It's good that you got back in here! Thanks

older/exasperated: See? THIS is why I have 45 different online names. Now my sleazy past will catch up with me. Shhhh!

Just Phyllis: YOu are mad funny! That is too good for the likes of us!

Myriad! You may be my first customer ever! Thanks for trying the book out! Please send me feedback. I think its a little rough.
I'm sure it'll be good! OS books I've read so far have been great. However, I have downloaded and attempted to read a couple of e-books by Pagan acquaintances, and THEY WERE AWFUL. "His shoulders perked for attack", as a phrase in one where I stopped and asked the Pagan gods if I really had to read any further. These books were earnest and clunky, whereas you have an insouciant *voice* - which makes for a convincing interior experience, whereas these other people were tediously describing events from outside. So I have high hopes for your work!
I love the exercises, reminds me of my poetry class.
Congratulations on the book, I am going to check it out when I finish here.
rated with love
You think I'm sleazy, now I feel used............o/e
Myriad!!!!! "His shoulders perked for attack" Oh God no, I do not have that! The worst one I ever read was "And the baby pooted forth into the world..." eeeek!

Poetess: I figure writing is writing. If the straight stuff is not coming up, then spend some time in my crooked world!

OE: I'm sorry if I offended your culture! ha ha! I didn't mean to imply that hashing and boinking while standing up against cinderblock is necessarily a BAD thing....
"dash up the channel"! I should say not (Judi Dench voice) !
ccdarling: No! It is simply not done, I say! OMG you people are on fire tonight.

SKY YOU BOUGHT ME BOOK! lUVS YOUS! tHAKNS!
What a beautiful book cover! I am so proud of you!!
Thank you Zanelle. It was a photo that I took of that freaky cloud with the HTC Thunderbolt. The rest of the series will have a different cloud photo on the cover.
You have got to read Zanelle's passive voice love scene exercise, but make shure that there is no liquid in your mouth or you will spit it and short out your laptop!
congrats on getting your book out there Zuma
It is always a good thing to see when a fellow writer makes a book.
You go woman.
You got a voice to speak with.
Thank you mission!
You will never be forgiven for assigning such 'hard' topics! ;o)

Congrats on your E-dithlicious book!
