Hey y'all. It's still a very busy time for everyone, but I thought I'd keep updating these just in case someone had time to do a prompt. Hopefully I'll be able to do one this week, too.
And here are your standard reminders before we start this week's fun. Remember that these prompts are not specific questions to be answered. They are just words, phrases, and ideas that are meant to jumpstart your creativity. It's wonderful if your response ties in closely with the prompt, if that's the idea you have, but it's equally wonderful if its relevance to the prompt is just some odd leap you made in your head. If you want to play but you're having trouble, think of it as word association. Read each prompt over, write down the first sentence that comes to mind for each, and run with one of those!
Here are your prompts for this week:
1. Write about panic.
2. "Opening the windows didn't make any difference."
3. Write a Rashomon story.*
4. Write about the day when everything went wrong.
5. A complicated way to solve a simple problem.
Enjoy!
*A Rashomon story is the story of one event told from two or more characters' points of view, leaving the readers in doubt as to which story, if any, is the true one. (The term comes from a famous short story by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke, later made into a movie by Kurosawa Akira.)
