Writing a first or final chapter
The image we’ve created is a great starting point for writing. Depending on your level of inspiration, you can either write a sentence, or begin with a 100 word first or final paragraph of a story.
Think about what has taken place before the scene you’ve chosen to draw, or forecast what might happen next. Practice building a narrative, with or without the pressure of constructing the whole story.
As we write about what we hear, we begin to ‘hear’ more when reading text, improving our speaking and listening skills in addition to those of visualisation and interpretation.
