This Week’s Writing Prompt

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. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.

This week’s writing prompt: Imagine yourself as having gotten lost. Using five colors, four items you can see in your house right now, and one faraway location, write yourself a map back to yourself.
