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: Find the tree nearest you. If you can, stand or sit down next to the tree. Describe the tree. First using only sensory descriptions. Then, add a little speculation about the tree. Then write yourself into a scene with a tree and see where it takes you.
