| | The year is coming to an end, and with the holidays upon us, it's even more important to make time for your writing: The Time Is Now.
|
POETRY PROMPT
|
| Pick a poetry book off of your shelf and open it to any page. Read the poem you've opened to, then write one of your own, using the same number of lines and stanzas. Choose a fragment from the poem you've read to title your own.
|
FICTION PROMPT
|
| | Conjure someone from your past with whom you've lost touch, perhaps someone who you never even knew that well or who you don't remember that well. Write a story in which you imagine that they make a sudden appearance in your life. What are the circumstances of their arrival? What do they need to tell you? And how does it relate to your shared past?
