This Week’s Writing Prompt
I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
This week’s writing prompt: Write to your younger self about the heroes of the past. Tell your younger self how you are a hero of the present. Do you think your younger self would be proud?
