#49: I Rewrote the First Five Pages of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and This Happened

Creative exercises are one of the most powerful ways to hone your craft, refine your voice, and try out new techniques to see if they fit your process. And, the good news is that they don’t need to take up much time to have a big impact on your art. In this episode, we’ll talk about a fun little writing exercise I did in my writing group last year that involved rewriting the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 20 minutes without looking at the original. Tune in to hear me read my version, reflect on what I learned from the exercise, and decide for yourself if something like this is worth trying.FOR EXCLUSIVE CREATIVITY TIPS, MUSINGS, AND EXERCISES, SUBSCRIBE TO THE ALWAYS CHOOSE ORANGE NEWSLETTER: https://www.alwayschooseorange.com
