Brave Writer

What makes your best friend your best friend?

What is your favorite room in your home and why?

Write about a time you hid from someone. Why? Where did you go? What happened?

Use these words in today’s freewrite:

Hope

Sparkle

Obliterate

In today’s freewrite, use as many “shape” words as you can think of: squares, swirls, arrows, stars, triangles, circles, curlicues, and so on.

Pick a time when you feel you suffered an injustice (a time when you were treated unfairly). Make a case for how unfair it is/was to you and really go for it. Exaggerate, overstate, tell it all! No self-editing.

Find a place in your house where you can sit and listen without being in the way. With a notebook, jot down all the sounds you hear. Really listen. Can you hear the whir of the computer? The sound of footsteps? The crinkle of paper as someone tosses a balled up wad flyer? Write it all down in a long list.

Make the longest list you can of all the fun you want to have in the next year. Be as outrageous as possible!

Start with that prompt and see where it takes you.
