Vermont Author Kerrin McCadden, whose new chapbook is Keep This to Yourself (Button Poetry). 


This week’s Write the Book Prompt was generously suggested by my guest, Kerrin McCadden. 

Choose 12 words you like the sound of (mostly 1-2 syllable words). Include a place name, a weather element, a geological feature, some verbs, and a garment in your list.
Set a timer for 7 minutes. 
Begin writing. Do not stop. Do not cross out anything you write. Use at least 10 out of 12 of the words on the list. You may modify word forms to fit the sentences as they emerge. If you had the word “belt” you could use “belted,” for instance.

Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
