Writing Prompt - Week Two

Happy second week!

As a reminder, this is a voluntary opportunity to keep your writing skills sharp over these lovely warm months. Each Monday, I will post a writing prompt for those who would like to keep practicing writing. Treat it like our free-write Mondays: give yourself seven minutes, try to write the whole time, and let yourself play! The idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

And if you'd like to, post your writing as a comment below.

Today's prompt:

You wake up and discover that you're a giant beetle. What do you do? (I borrowed this idea from a Franz Kafka story called "The Metamorphosis")

Tell a story from the point of view of a piece of gum.

Or, write whatever you'd like.


And remember...have fun!

Writing Prompt - Week One

Happy Summer, everyone!

I know that we're all taking breaks this summer, but I wanted to provide an opportunity to keep your skills sharp over these lovely warm months. Each Monday, I will post a writing prompt for those who would like to keep writing or keep practicing. I encourage you to treat it like our free-write Mondays. Give yourself seven minutes, try to write the whole time, and let yourself play! The idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

And if you'd like to, post your writing as a comment below.

Today's prompt:

Your pet can suddenly talk - write out your first conversation with your dog/cat/fish/parrot/lizard.

You find yourself suddenly transported to Spain. What do you do on your first day? Use sensory details.

Or, write whatever you'd like.

And remember...have fun!
