For this prompt . . . let’s get comfortable. Settle into your chair. Make any adjustments you need to make to feel relaxed.
Take a deep breath in. Hold. Let your breath out.
Repeat: Deep breath in. Hold. Relax breath out.
Put your hand over your heart. Deep breath in. Hold. Release breath.
Think of one word from your heart. The uppermost feeling or thought you are experiencing right now. Just one word.
When I remember where I originally saw this idea, I’ll give credit here.
The second part of this prompt is thanks to my amazing friend and writing teacher, Susan Bono.
The quiet of knowing
The song of regret
The taste of heartbeat
Prompt: Make a list using that pattern.
If you want, you can incorporate your one word from when you had your hand over your heart.
