The night before Halloween, I wanted to watch a Halloween movie. I chose “Hocus Pocus.”
Around 7:40 pm I began to search how to view it for free on TV. I couldn’t find it in the free movies category and didn’t want to pay for it.
I looked at the TV Guide.
“Hocus Pocus” would be playing on a major channel at 8:00 pm.
The time at this point: 8:00 pm.
Writing Prompt: What are the chances?
Or: Has this ever happened to you?
Or: Hocus Pocus
What makes you anxious?
What do you want to do about that?
What can you do about that?

Thank you, Deb Fenwick, for introducing the word and concept, Listcicles, to me. .
Make a list of things that you did for the first time, or the last time you did this thing.
Use one of those responses for your freewrite, or write a listcicle.
“Listicles (also known as “list posts”) are articles that are written in a list-based format. The most common form of listicle is a short list of 10-20 items that are based on a specific theme. However, modern listicles are often enhanced with additional information around each item to make them more useful.” Wikipedia
Make a list and just write!
