Writing Prompts of the day

Dear Readers and Writers,

Here are some writing prompts to start your day! Take a moment, grab a seat wherever you’re comfortable, and grab your favorite writing tools. Whether or not this would be your laptop or clacky keyboard, or your journal and feather quill, anything will suffice.

Grab your timer and set it for 10 minutes, and select a word from the list below. You will spend some time with this word. How does it sound? What does it mean? How do you feel when you say this word? How do you feel when you hear it?

Mist

Fear

Lace

Violet

Rust

Write down anything you can think of. Here are some rules:

1) Do not stop writing, no matter what errors you make.

2) Do not think, just go!

3) Write aggressively, and with strength behind each word.

Once the 10 minutes is up, stand up, stretch, and then get comfortable again. Take a sip of water or coffee, and get ready to write once more.

You will set a timer for 20 minutes this time, and for this prompt, you can think about what you think this word would be like if it were a human entity. Who are they? Where would they go? What would they do? What stories would they tell? embody this word and create a character from it. Have fun with this and get creative!

Good luck, and write away!
