Open the book you are currently reading to any random page and choose a sentence or phrase. Using that, write for eight minutes….

Here are a couple to get you started:

From Writers and Lovers by Lily King:

While I’m drinking, the phone rings.

From Feast Your Eyes by Myla Goldberg:

I am sorry I was not with you, I told her.

Feel free to change tense/pronouns; write for eight minutes and see what happens.
