You can read it in the picture, but I’ll write it again here … just in case. 😉
You are tasked with writing articles for the local pasture’s gossip rag. You heard a really good one from Ewenice (I know, it’s cheesy).
Write your juicy story. Set your time for 5 minutes and … ready … set … write!
I was sitting at my desk trying to figure out what to write about. What on earth did I have to say that anyone would want to read? Has that ever happened to you?
Then, in my head, the 1980s Chicago song started playing 25 or 6 to 4, and all of a sudden, I knew I just needed to start writing about not knowing what to write and I would figure it out eventually.
See, the thing is that as you start to write, even if you have no idea what you are going to write about, the ideas start to flow, and the words flow as well, better and better as you keep going.
That’s not to say your first draft will be perfect – or even 25% of what you’ll end up with, but it is a start, and sometimes a start is all you need to open the floodgate of words locked in your head.
So today, write about a time when you had nothing to say, or about not having anything to say now.
If you need some inspiration about writing about not knowing what to say, listen to the YouTube on Chicago’s channel here.
Okay, now set your timer and ready … set … write!
Home – Is it a place or a feeling? Sometimes I feel at home even when I am far from home if I am comfortable and with the ones I love. Home can also be a place where I grew up, but exists only in my memories because the structure is no longer standing. And sometimes, home is where I live, watching the sunset with my husband (as in this picture).
What about you? What does home mean to you? Take a few minutes to write about it and see where it leads you. You may be surprised. 🙂
Okay… Set your timer for 5 minutes and ready … set … write!
Do you do anything for April Fools Day? We always play friendly jokes on each other in our family. Garlic in toothpaste, short sheeted beds or other little pranks, but our level of pranks were nothing compared to others that I know.
What about you? Todays writing prompt involves writing about what you do on April 1. Whether pranking or not – how do you spend this day?
Ready … set … write!
