This week's practice exercise~
Exercise: In 400 words or less, write a scene from the POV of a child aged five to thirteen.
-------------------------
Show us the world through a child's eyes, his or her perception of the world, in a way that is convincingly childlike.
Give us a sense of the child's personality and the things that occupy his or her attention.
Present the context in the child’s voice. For this exercise focus more closely on the child’s voice and POV than on the actual scene.
-------------------------
These exercises were written by IWW members and administrators to provide structured practice opportunities for its members. You are welcome to use them for practice as well. Please mention that you found them at the Internet Writers Workshop.
