“What If …”
Have you ever played the “what if …” game? Is it to the creative imagination what crossword puzzles and Sudoku games are to the logical brain. Playing “what if …” is a wonderful, mind-toning exercise – exactly what writers need.
Every so often I’m going to throw a “what if …” exercise at you. When I do, please think about it, let your right brain play with it, and share whatever you come up with the rest of us in a comment.
The same rules apply to these exercises as apply to the Word Shots: Any length of response is welcome – from a single word to a full-blown story. Just keep it clean and non-toxic. And of course, weird is perfectly fine.
So here we go – the first ever “what if …” exercise from TheWritersBag.com:
What if men – not women – had babies and breast-fed them?
Have at it! And please leave your comment.
