Creative Writing Exercise #2 – Write what you don’t remember

Here’s another creative writing exercise for you…

1. Think of a place you know very well like the inside of your car, office, or home.

2. Spend a few minutes remembering all the details you possibly can.creative writing exercise

3. Now take ten minutes and write about what you don’t remember. Begin with “I don’t remember…”

For example…
I don’t remember how many steps there are up to my third floor apartment on Union Street in Brooklyn. I don’t remember what I left on the desk beside the door. I don’t remember how many shirts I left in the laundry bag to be washed or what the name of the mystery book is I left on the bedside table. I don’t remember how many people came to the New Year’s eve Party.

Please share you experiences in the comments.
