Prompt Four: Unsure Person

Describe a day in the life of a person who is unsure of him/herself.

(schoolgirl, old man, youth at war, a friend, autobiographical, ect)

submitted by my mother.

Prompt Three: Gesture

Write: not just about a gesture, but a piece that totally embodies the gesture. Like the 'where' piece, but with people (unless, of course, you choose to write about a cat's gesture, I'm sure that's acceptable as well)


If you still want to write the last one, or for this one as well, remember that this is creative writing, not necessarily non-fiction. This one was submitted by Hannah (thank you!!!), submit prompts if you want, of any type. If you have been writing about something in your head and can fit a prompt to it, that is one way to kill three birds with one stone (one for you, one for me, and one for everyone who doesn't have to endure my bad prompts).

Prompt Two: Trivial Dilemmas

 There are dilemmas that we face daily. They aren't 'how would one go about bringing world peace?' or 'what exactly is Truth, does it even exist?' Sure we can think about these things time to time, but more often it's 'what shoes should I wear if it might rain but also might not' and 'should I eat more watermelon or should I keep myself dehydrated because otherwise I'll have to use the porta-potty and it's disgusting because there are 100s of people here' (can you feel the anxiety!?)

Write about a trivial dilemma that for one reason or another gets you on an internal rant. Look at the inter workings of your mind in terms of logic in the real world, in day-to-day life. This may seem really random right now, but you will probably catch yourself thinking about one (hopefully, that's what I'm betting on to make this worthwhile.)


P.S. Okay! Great! Feel free to comment on eachother's pieces-I will do so as well, I think it will give us more motivation if we see eachothers reactions :)
Also, you can, once again, submit topic ideas. They are harder to come up with than you think, it's a challenge in itself, and I would really appreciate your ideas.
3rdly I made some clarifications to the instructions about how to write this all, since there seemed to be some confusion. If you have any questions, just ask! I'm just trying to systematize it in some way.



(To post this or not to post this? On one hand, I don't actually know if this will work-I have doubts that other people encounter these dilemmas as often as I do, or will be inspired. On the other, I currently have not come up with any better ideas, nor has anyone else. Therefore it is either this or nothing, or putting up a prompt late (with no guarantee that it will not be this one) and so, yes, I shall post it.)

Prompt One: Where

Describe a place. Tell us how it smells, looks, feels, is, how does time work there, what was the first or last time you where there, how did you discover it ect. Associations you have with it, emotions, memories. You can go in all or none of these veins. You can go on a tangent, but in the end, I want to know the place.

I believe this is to be posted by the 26th
