RE: Day 17 - The Weekend Freewrite - The First Sentence
I don't really understand this challenge Marianne!
I write 5 minutes about "the first sentence" or about what is inside the pictures? And where is the yellow and purple graphic?
Instructions unclear... lifted heavy weights for Odin!
use the prompt as your first sentence - then go to the next prompt in the next post. I published it now and will link them together. I can only publish every 5 min :(
I updated the post. Does it make more sense now? Let me know, please :)
Yes it makes sense now but I prefer the simple ones.
However, Amy Gerstein is a real person so I wonder what the purpose of this is?
I don't know any person by that name. It is a prompt exercise to take you out of what our brain might come up with on their own and open new neuropathways - so to speak. We often get stuck in shoulds, or just in that what we are familiar with. This kind of thing helps to open the creative forces.
I used prompts from The Writer's Toolbox as I stated in the last prompt. But short prompts are great and you have at least 15 we already did to choose from. If you don't feel like giving this a try, check out what @improv did with this prompts. Link in the comments of prompts 3 :)
I see how today goes. I might just do the Weekend challenge as an addition for those who are into that sort of thing.
Thanks for the explanation Marianne.
Thank you for asking. Maybe I need to include this explanation in the prompt as well.
You should, it adds a benefit to this challenge which makes it more attractive for people to participate.
Just did!! Thank you so much for asking such good questions and helping to make the prompt clearer. Sometimes, when you know something really well, it is hard to include all the details one needs to understand if the person is brand new to the concept!! Thank you!!
No problem Marianne, you have built a small cute community here with this freewriting challenge.
If you want me to retweet something for you just let me know & I will do it :-)
