Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
What are you focusing on for the remainder of 2023?
There are 48 days left of the year 2023.
I give you permission to begin today!
Today’s prompt:
What image or memory comes to mind when you think of the word?
One of the writing prompts I give to students is to write a list of things they think of as impossible.
Ex.
It is impossible for pigs to fly.
It is impossible to have dinner with a ghost.
Then you go back and replace the period with the word UNLESS.
It is impossible for pigs to fly unless you throw them across the room.
It is impossible to have dinner with a ghost unless your dining room is haunted.
What impossible things could you do before breakfast?
Try to lean into the absurd today. Have fun. No one has to see what you wrote except your notebook.
I invite you to search your notebooks and drives for the prompt word and see what drafts you have that you can resurrect and revise.
What will you write today?
A list
A metaphor
A memory
One sentence
A conversation imagined between you and a stranger
Whatever you choose - have fun!
Happy writing!
I invite you to leave a comment!
You belong simply because you are here.
A little more about me: Tammy L. Evans is a writer, teacher, and coach living in a tiny house on a peninsula with her husband and adventure cat. Her location device is her loud laugh. She is working on a non-fiction book about how to submit and publish your first pieces. She is the creator and host of THE BRADBURY TRIO COURSE. Her poetry has been published in The Storyteller, FoxGlove Journal, Story Hall, Blue Insights, The Partnered Pen, and others. Her fiction has been published in Gone Lawn, South Florida Poetry Journal, Cabinets of Heed, Spelk, Five on the Fifth, Clover and White, Fiction Berlin Kitchen, and others.
For whatever reason today I am feeling very anti-ra-ra. When I see the word "impossible" I can hear all the "positive vibes only" chiming in. I know their tunes because I have been a lead singer of them for so long. I'm glad I can freely express myself here AND am going to include this theme in my "belonging" study. I definitely feel the connection... and how I lived in shame for far too long which was the path OUT of belonging. The other thought I have had this morning is I miss the hell out of Brene Brown's regular podcasts.
