"It's always the simple that produces the marvelous.” —Amelia Barr, British Novelist and Teacher
Writing prompts have an interesting way of loosening up the subconscious.
A timed writing exercise, for example, invites free-writing that turns on and engages something within that allows words to spill forth on the page.
Writer's prompts come in all shapes and sizes. Small questions. Leading phrases. Overheard conversations. Problems. Personal experiences. Poetry. Memories. Books.
Famous novelist Amelia Barr authored 80 works of fiction during her lifetime. Born in 1831, Barr used material from her childhood to weave stories and scenes. Think about how different her world was from ours today. Yet, her memories prompted imaginative writing and served as valuable source material for her books.
All forms of creative expression start with a prompt. Whether you write, paint, compose, dance, or _______, what prompts you?
