This Week’s Writing Prompt
Each week the featured author offers a writing prompt for you to use at home. 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. You can always edit later. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
This week’s writing prompt is: Write about an event, a person, or a moment that changed everything. Who were you before this moment, before this event, before this person? Who were you right after this event, or this moment, or this person? Think about yourself now, or about the character now. What do you know now that you didn’t know then? What was happening in the world in that moment? Think about the world and the character: how are those things connected?
