Well, that was an Interesting Experience . . . Prompt #241
Write about something interesting that happened.
It could be a little blip, just a passing thing that happened. Or, it could be big. . . earth shattering.
It could be about something that really happened or something imagined.
The page is a big, wide-open place for you to play and experiment (what a funny word – ex-peer-ih-ment).
Try a word here, toss a word there. Mix ’em up. Shuffle. Dance your words around.

Music lyrics as prompts . . . Prompt #240
You may already do this . . . Use musical lyrics as prompts. Here are a couple for you:
“She lost him. But she found herself and that was everything.” Taylor Swift
“I used to drive out to John’s house,” says Paul McCartney. “He lived out in the country, and I lived in London. I remember asking the chauffeur once if he was having a good week. He said, “I’m very busy at the moment. I’ve been working eight days a week.” And I thought, “Eight days a week! Now there’s a title.”
Have a go. Just start writing. Be open. Be surprised. Let the ink flow. Let your fingers fly across the keyboard. Then share. Post your writing on The Write Spot Blog. -
When we remember . . . ” Prompt #239
Today’s writing prompt is a quote by Mark Twain. The best way to use this quote as a prompt for your writing is to have everything ready: paper, pen, timer. If you are using computer: warm it up, open a word.doc. Give it a name. Save it.
Whatever method you use for your writing, have everything ready, including yourself. Stretch if you need to. Loosen the muscles in your neck by rolling your head in a gentle circle. Roll in the opposite direction. Rotate your shoulders back in a circular motion. Then forward. Squirm, wiggle, adjust. Then . . . just write. Read the quote and write whatever comes up for you.
“When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.” — Mark Twain

Your passion for writing. Prompt #234
It’s palpable. I see it. I feel your passion for writing. I know the feeling. . .You want to write, but you aren’t writing.
Because . . . first, you have to do this Thing and that Thing needs to get done and this other Thing just can’t wait.
I know how it goes. I know you really do want to write.
And I wonder, if writing means so much to you, why aren’t you writing? Why do you ignore your passion?
Let’s take a look at this. Whenever I have something I want to explore, I do a freewrite.
Use the following questions as “writing starts.”
Start each paragraph with a question. Then write. Just write.
What do I want to do in my writing life?
What do I want to accomplish?
What is stopping me from doing what I want to do, whether it’s writing or something else?
What can I do to make my dream come true?
What changes do I need to make?
I’m pretty happy with my writing life. This is how I make time to write.
Share your discoveries with us, especially how you make time to write. Almost every writer I know would benefit from your answers. Post your writing on The Write Post Blog.
