Writing Prompt 10/16/13

What are 5 things for which you are truly grateful? These things do not have to be extremely profound, but of course should be important to you. After you have reflected on your list, pick one or two and write a poem or story from the point of view of someone else to whom these things are very important but has a different story about why.

Writing Prompt 10/14/13

Keep track of your dreams this week and everything down what you remember. Accuracy of detail is more important than accuracy of sequence. If you don’t dream or remember your dreams every night, then stretch your recordings over a longer period of time. The thing to do after recording several dreams is to take those images, as weird or mundane as they may be, and separating them from the act of dreaming itself, use them in a poem or short story of any length.
