CREATIVE WRITING/SCIENCE
Go to
http://writeideas.org.uk/ for a new pack with writing exercises based on real science developed by Mario Petrucci, a real scientist, for the Royal Literary Fund.  Intended for teachers, students and writers, it uses concepts such as filters, iteration and randomness to stimulate writing.  It's accessible to non-specialists - even people with no exam passes in science, like me - and it's definitely not
scary.
