: Re: What helpful writing exercises do you use? The two I do most are dialog and description related. When I meet a person or I'm just sitting people watching, I try to write their description

Pick a city that you've never been to and do some research about it. Then write about going there and try to describe what you see, hear, smell, etc.
Take a piece of your writing, go through it and look for non-descript words, such as 'nice', 'beautiful' and 'wonderful'. List these words, and detail what they are actually supposed to be describing.
On the left side of the page, list tangible nouns. On the right side of the page, list intangible nouns. Combine them in a phrase.
I like to go to public places and listed to conversations. Then, I write down some bits of dialogue that I hear and try to "guess" what that person is really like by writing down what I think they're like.
