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: Set an alarm for a random time of day when you’re not normally thinking about writing. Check in with each of your senses. Write a sentence or two for each sensory experience.
Explore Womxn Authors
In this episode, the author recommended these womxn writers:
- Lorna Crozier, author of The Sex Lives of Vegetables
- Jane Hirshfield, author of poem “Spell to be Said after Illness” from Lives of the Heart
