~ Write for 5 minutes about something difficult, challenging,\nor painful.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s only five minutes. Go ahead. Do it now. We\u2019ll wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humming in the background while writing gets done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quiet while writing gets done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you still reading? \nWrite! Just write. For five\nminutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After five minutes . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
~ Write for 5 minutes about something comforting, happy, or\njoyous.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you. Now. Just write. Go ahead. We\u2019ll wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting. Waiting. Patiently waiting. I\u2019ll write, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After five minutes . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
~ Write for 5 minutes about images of nature, the natural\nworld.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Hmm . . . what will you choose from nature to write about? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feathers, rocks, trees, birds, rocks, dirt, peach blossoms, river, waterfall, penguins, geese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Write whatever comes up for you about nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shhh. . . Writers are working here. Doing what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing. Just writing. Keep on writing. For five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
~ Spend 15 minutes to write a poem, using words and images\nfrom each of the previous writing. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Can use repetition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doesn\u2019t have to make sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have fun with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Play with words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
