Prompts

Alright, Danielle, having tagged me for the next writer, you may be disappointed to discover that I've chosen to interpret "writer" as "poster" and therefore, this post will contain none of my own personal creative writing. Tough beans. I'm proposing an exercise for the blog: I'm going to post a prompt (adapted from my spectacular list I wrote to Amanda once upon a time) and you guys have to respond with 15 minutes or so of writing from the prompt.

I considered posting all or a bunch of prompts in one entry, then thought to myself "dang, there's just too much gold here for one prompt. We need to spread the wealth." So there'll be two prompts. You can choose one or the other.

No worries, I'll respond to my own prompts too.

So prompt #1:

· Note where you are at exactly 11:35 that day—write something beautiful/profound/wry about what that moment contains

Prompt #2:

· Choose 5 people you know (yeah... one can be me. And one can be you). If they were a vegetable/car/animal/candy bar/shirt/style of music... what would they be?

  1. Okay, I don't know what's going on, but I had a really hard time with the formatting on this post. It took like 30 minutes just to make it so only this many words were cut out of the edges. Sorry about that, and I'm sure I'll figure out how to blog like a champ soon.

    But for now, I'm tired of it. Back later~
