Prompts for Free-Writing

If you have ten minutes, you can write!

Below is a list of prompts to get you going.
Writers who have worked with me know the rules:
*Trust first thoughts.
*Keep your hand moving.
*Don’t cross out.
*Don’t think too much.

Now choose a word or phrase from the list below, set the timer, take pen to paper and GO!

Write for ten minutes!

 

A time I was forced to change
A memory of a library
A recollection of fog
Story time
Drinking out of a bottle
The river
An animal I’ve known
What I pretend not to care about
A surprise
My mother’s jewelry

Food I hate
Swimming
A birthday celebration
What’s been on your mind
Time for bed
What I’m missing
A time I was alone
Luck
What’s on top of Daddy’s dresser
Bubblegum
My favorite song
What I can’t live without
A memory of watermelon
Crayons
The beach
A bird I love
Worries
I’m proud of
I’m not proud of
Grass
Snow
Wood smoke
Red
Vacation
Cold
That’s funny!
My room
Water
Candy
New beginnings
What I haven’t said yet
I wish I’d asked you
