Expand on the seed of an idea in this week's creative writing exercise
Start with something small. Perhaps a name, or a precise location. Or a scrap of clothing. A pebble or a leaf, or a song title. You decide.
Now, start to think about how you could work from this starting point to create something bigger.
Make a chart. Work outwards from the idea and see where your thoughts take you.

Once you taken your idea from seed to bigger picture, start writing.
