This Week’s Writing Prompt
I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
This week’s writing prompt: What experiences in your own life, whether from a dream, a vision, or everyday reality, had such a profound effect on you that it forever changed your life and your perspective on your identity? How would you describe it so that your audience is there with you in that moment, experiencing it with you, and feeling the shift it created within you?
