Prompt #14

A tried and true way to knock you out of a writing rut is just to pick a jumble of words and force yourself to write from it. This prompt is a tried and true one to keep in your back pocket when you feel burnt out or non-creative, and you need something simple to get you back into writing. Also, I just received an unhinged text that I think is really funny, so I wanted to do this exercise for fun!

Grab your phone and check whatever messaging app you use. What’s the last text you got? Use that text (or a sentence or phrase from it) as the FIRST sentence or phrase of your piece. Write in the medium of your choice. And I will give you the parameter that whatever you write should be a page max.

If you finish that page with time to spare, then I want you to reverse the prompt and use the text message as the END of of your piece. It’s a phrase or sentence that you are working towards rather than starting with.

Set your timer for 10 minutes and write!

I’m watching Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action Series! And rubbing my koi fish tattoo like it will start to exhibit magical properties.

I’m reading This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley

I’m listening to Country Music by black people because…well, you know why.

How did it go? Let me know in the comments. Same time next week! Have a good weekend :)
