Before you get into writing the final piece for this workshop, we’re going to have a go at free-writing. For this exercise, you’ll need to use the timer below, or keep an eye on the clock. 

All you have to do is keep writing – don’t think too much, and don’t take your pen off the page (if you get stuck, you can just make a list of adjectives until the sentences come back!). 

This free-write is going to explore the superhero secret identity. Which really just means, well, you! Who are you when you’re not using your superpower? What other personality traits do you have? What do you do with your time? 

Your prompt for this exercise is ‘By day, I am…’

Write this out at the top of your page, start the timer, and get writing!
