I will read a poem and invite you to write and then we will do a 5 word writing prompt.

Today’s prompt:

What image or memory comes to mind when you think of “store”?

Do you have a favorite store?

Is there a childhood store you went to that you loved that no longer exists?

There used to be a rubber stamp store in the downtown of a city next to where I live now. I loved to browse in there. They had classes. I used to make all kinds of cards and invitations by hand.

Do you know a store space that has changed names several times? There is a corner store that doesn’t have great access from the road. It has been a hot dog place, a gyro place, and now it is a donut place. Not regular donuts, but the ones that have cereal and cookies on them like VooDoo Donuts in Portland.

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.

If you like this prompt join my offering starting in January!

In this 12-week course, I will save you time by curating reading lists and writing assignments to help you utilize that reading!

Reading is vital to the writing life! It also reduces stress. Come see what can emerge from your writing when you are fueled with reading, community, and a guide!
