page to get started.

Not sure how to get started? Try one of these ideas:

Try to write one sentence using all selected words.

Use the first word in a sentence, then incorporate more words as you go along.

Come up with a topic or title the incorporates all words.

Keep writing, even if you don’t like what you see. Don’t stop writing until your timer runs out. Don’t fuss about line breaks, etc. If you must, however, use Shift+Return.

Don’t worry if your sentences or stories aren’t completely logical or realistic. Things will get better over time as you strengthen your creative muscles!

Step 4. Share your stories with others!
