Good morning! I have already written about writing tours. Now I have come up with a second one. I wish you a lot of fun with it! WRITING TOUR: VISIT TO PARIS 1. arrival If you want to arrive by car, write for ten minutes while stuck in traffic! If you prefer to arrive by plane, you'll have plenty of time to write at the airport. Write 200 words, taking as much time as you need. If you prefer to travel by train, you must write 500 words in 10 minutes while running to the train. If you fail to do this, you will miss the train and have to travel by car or plane, or write for 15 minutes while waiting for the next train. 2. Check-in You have finally arrived in Paris! Complete at least three of the following stops in an order that makes sense to you: *you eat a croissant: generate a random number between 50 and 350 and write that many words *you check in at the hotel and read a bit in your book: write as many words as your favorite book has *pages (approximately). If there are more than 500, subtract three hundred words. *you are talking on the phone with a friend: write for five minutes *you are cleaning out your suitcase: generate a random number between 1 and 6, multiply it by 60 and write that many words. *you are having a drink: write the last three digits of your current wordcount again while waiting to be served 3. louvre Now you have a visit to the Louvre coming up. If you're just here for the architecture of the building, sprint to the nearest thousand as you traverse the building. If you're looking at each work of art individually, do a 20-minute WordWar. If you'd rather do something in between, set your own goal. 4. Eiffel Tower You can see it from miles away: the Eiffel Tower. It was built for the World's Fair. If you like to sprint up its stairs, do a 5-minute WordWar. If you prefer to take it easy, write 150 words and take as much time as you need. 5. walk Before you eat lunch, you decide to take a little walk. You unfortunately get lost and write as many words as you have main characters in your current story times a hundred. (If you have more than 5 main characters, you can just write for 15 minutes). You'll pass some beautiful buildings and treat yourself to three or four macarons. Set your own goal as you look out over the Seine. 6. Lunch You find a nice little restaurant and have lunch there. Unfortunately, it's much more expensive than you expected. Try your hand at a 50-headed Hydra while discussing with the waitress (500 words in 5 minutes). If you don't succeed, start another attempt. If you lose again, you can skip to the next point. If you prefer to eat some croissants, write for ten minutes. 7. shopping spree You decide to do some more shopping. A pair of shoes here, a bar of chocolate there... Write as many words as you have pairs of shoes times a hundred. (Exactly, if you own 80 pairs of shoes... bad luck for you). Then you visit an old school friend who lives on the outskirts of town. Together you go to the café that her wife runs and chat for hours. There is so much to talk about! Write for ten minutes, take a five-minute break, and write for another ten minutes. 8. evening The day is coming to an end. You go back to the hotel and decide to watch one more episode of a series before you write. Write as many words as the series you are watching has seasons, times fifty. If you're not watching a show, generate a random number between one hundred and three hundred. Now you finally get to writing. Sprint to the end of your current scene! 9. departure The departure the next day goes like clockwork. Write 200 words while driving or walking to the train station/airport or write for ten minutes. Your stay in the capital of France was a complete success! |
