Write whatever comes up for you. No judging, no criticizing yourself!
Have fun with this prompt! Let yourself go. Be silly. Be creative. Be humorous. Be serious. Just write!
Make a list of things that are meaningful to you, starting with the letter “A” . . . then go through the alphabet to the letter z. Write one sentence, or a few words, why this is meaningful to you. For example:
A – A deck of cards – playing gin rummy and hearts
B – Balloon game in the old living room
C – Crafts – glitter glue, making things with the kids
continue to the end of the alphabet
W – Wizard puppet
X – X-rays that saved my life
Y – “Y” always reminds of watching the Micky Mouse Club. “Why? Because we like you!”
Z – Zebra in orthodontist’s office
~ Now you have a list of things you can write about! Anytime you want to write and need an idea, look at your list and Just Write!
