Be simple on your writing

Be yourself: because when you try to use a language that is too sophisticated in order for other people to see us as writers, to receive compliments from them, then you would be sacrificing your true self. The best words are those that come from your own soul.

Exercises: I can't think of anything

1.         Are you sitting looking out the window, trying to write something, but nothing comes to you? Describe the scene. The people going by. How are they dressed? What are they doing? Imagine what their work might be. Do they have problems? A couple? Etc.

2.         Describe your home, your room, your things. Give detail to everything. What memories do they bring? Who might have created them? Where have they been and with whom? If one of those things were alive, what would happen?

3.         The days when you don't know what to write. Write it on paper too, even if it's just: "I couldn't come up with anything today". Stay there for a while, an idea might come to you. Remember that you need discipline to achieve it.
