Writing Prompt 9/12/13

What kind of weekend writing project will you undertake over the next few days? Is there something you can plan as a family — a weekend writers’ retreat of a few hours on Saturday and Sunday? If you don’t have family living under the same retreat house roof, could you pair up with a buddy for a collaborative writing project? Stuck for a topic? You can always start out writing about the weather.

Writing Prompt 6/5/13

Your favorite foods are important ingredients in your overall life. What other kinds of “foods” do you need in your writing life? How have these ingredients changed over the years? For example, you might not write as much on paper, but on a laptop or ipad. You might read books differently now too.
You might spend this prompt time thinking about your writing life and if you write something, great, if not, at least you’ll be thinking about nourishment.

Writing Prompt 1/17/13

Make a list of some really yummy foods that you like to eat. Assign those dishes/snacks to characters in a story or poem as part of their personality. Outline a few reasons why this character eats this or that. EG: the bland diet fits the person with poor digestion, eaten out of physiological necessity, but the character has always been kind of boring, one never to make decisions in relationships, or never to take vacations.

Play with it, and eat up!
