I also shared about how I found a great list of writing exercises in an old issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, (a reminder to never throw away old magazines), and how I tweaked the author’s suggested exercises in my effort to create activities that would allow me to practice writing while writing about God’s Kingdom.   

I also shared with you my first two exercises: 

1. Every day for one week, read and meditate on verses John 3:19-21 and John 8:12. 

2. Starting one week later, each day for fifteen days, spend five minutes listing every word you can think of that starts with a letter in the title, Light of the World.  

Now, here are this month’s suggested exercises; and don’t forget, I want to hear about how these are working for you.  Email me at kristens@Hiswitness.org.

3. Spend fifteen minutes writing a scene that begins with this sentence:  “It was plain to see that all he had done had been done through God”.  Remember to spend no more than fifteen minutes on this step.

4. One week later, spend fifteen minutes listing every adjective you can think of that describes eternal light.  Again, spend no more than fifteen minutes on this step.

5. Finally, one week later, spend twenty minutes writing a scene that describes what it feels like to walk out of darkness and into the Light of Life, and use ten of the words you listed in exercise #4.  Describe smells, sights, sounds, and any/all emotions and feelings you imagine might be present.   

This should help keep you busy until next month.  Until then, have fun!
