Write around the idea of something brewing up in this week's creative writing exercise

You could take the theme literally, or interpret the picture, and write about the process of making a hot drink. But you could explore the theme in other ways too – what about exploring the way an idea brews, from its creative spark to a fully fledged project? Or the way a tiny hurt or resentment can fester until it becomes all-encompassing rage?

Interpret the idea of brewing in any way you choose, but keep the sense of something percolating in mind as you write.

Write in any style for ten minutes.
