Unbridled Creativity: 101 Writing Exercises for Horse Lovers

Before I owned a horse, I read every single book I could about them, spending hours in the 636 section at the library–any Dewey Decimal system fans out there? I wrote stories with main characters who loved horses and longed to have a horse of their own. Now that I’m a grown up and have a horse, I still love to write about horses. You might like writing about horses too, or know someone who does, and that is why I wrote Unbridled Creativity: 101 Writing Exercises for the Horse Lover.

Part composition book with lined pages, part creative journal to spark your own stories and cure post-barn boredom (because let’s be honest–you can’t spend all of your waking hours on top of a horse) Unbridled Creativity will be the riding writer’s new best friend.

Prompts Crafted by a Real Life English Teacher (That’s me!)

Fun Fact: The writing prompts in Unbridled Creativity: 101 Writing Exercises for the Horse Lover are not just random questions I thought up while commuting to and from the barn (although I did put a lot of thought time into this project during my 75-mile one way barn commute). They have been formed based on writing prompts I’ve used in the classroom which helped even the most reluctant writer to unfurl their ideas. If you’re new around here and didn’t know this, I am a credentialed English and history teacher with over 20 years in the classroom.

I believe the writing prompts in this fun lil’ book will be appropriate for all ages of horse lovers, from tweens on up to seniors.

In addition to the 101 writing prompts, I provide a list of 12 ways to be a better writer along with several mentor texts based on the prompts. In fancy educational terms, mentor texts are writing samples that will give the struggling writer or someone with writer’s block a leg up by seeing an idea of how to respond to the prompt. (Any homeschoolers out there with kids who love horses? The mentor text feature will be super helpful.)
