Writers strive to show not tell. One way to accomplish this is behavior. Don't tell the character is angry. Show it. For today's prompt we'll have fun with animal behavior.
Choose at least one of the following:
bird
dog
cat
horse
or choose another animal
Now SHOW that animal:
angry
relaxed
happy
hungry
moody
Keep these tidbits in a journal where you can find them later.

This reminds me of my short story and creative writting class every time I read these. They are simple and they would have been very helpful when I was doing short stories.
I would just write with my eyes closed on a large pad and then "try" and rework the grammar later.
Perhaps within your heart a writer awaits nourishment. You'll find not better way to feed it than write. But you do that regularly on your blogs. Maybe in your freetime you might consider writing fiction.
