Writing prompt: The last piece of the puzzle.

You know what to do . . . Just write!

We know what we know.

What’s more interesting:

~ What don’t you know?

~ What are you confused about?

“At the time it seemed very important. That’s the funny thing about arguments. Now, I can’t even remember what it was all about.”

Quote by Dr. Chilton in the movie, Pollyanna.

Writing prompt: Write about an argument or a disagreement.

After you have written all you want on this subject, put on your screenplay hat. Write this same scene from the point of view of the other person involved in the argument or disagreement.

This prompt is inspired by an interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda, an American composer, lyricist, actor, singer, rapper, producer, and playwright. He composed music for Moana, and starred in Mary Poppins. He is possibly best known for creating and starring in the Broadway play, Hamilton.

He is the author of Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You which came from his Tweets.

Jonny Sun said to Lin, “You should make these tweet comments into a book.”

Lin replied, “Why would I write a book when you can get this free?”

Sun, the person who became the illustrator for the book, answered, “Because people like to hold things.”

Lin’s tweets came from asking himself, “What do I need to hear right now?”

Prompt: What do you need to hear right now?

Write about:

~ A performance you were in, or a performance your fictional character was in.

Or:

~ A live performance you will always remember.

I usually like to include a photo or an image with the writing prompts. It usually takes me longer to find an image than to create the prompt.

Today’s writing prompt is multiple choice:

What image would you use to go with this writing prompt?

Or: What song lyrics would you use for this prompt? You can create your own song lyrics, or use a song you know to write about.

I’m thinking of “You Raise Me Up,” by Josh Groban.

Writing Prompt: Today I trust.

Just Write!

If you want someone to understand you, what would you tell them about your past?

Imagine a room full of people, they are looking at a speaker behind a podium. They want to know more about the topic. In a way, they want to be entertained.

They are talking about you.

Who knows more about you than you?  Who best to celebrate the essence of you, than you? 

Write about you . . . Provide enough information so the people in that room have a clear vision or impression of you and your life. 

Prompt: I want to tell you about . . .

What are you looking forward to?

A simple writing prompt for these difficult times.
