Each week the featured author offers a writing prompt for you to use at home. I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. You can always edit later. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
This week’s writing prompt is based on a prompt provided to Maisy from Elizabeth Bobrick: Write a story you heard that happened before you were born. Whoever it’s about, write from their perspective.
