A Room with a View.

May 22, 2015May 13, 2015 Danielle3 Comments

Today’s Prompt: If you could zoom through space in the speed of light, what place would you go to right now? Today, choose a place to which you’d like to be transported if you could — and tell us the backstory. How does this specific location affect you? Is it somewhere you’ve been, luring you… Continue reading A Room with a View.

Serially Lost.

Today’s Prompt: Write about a loss: something (or someone) that was part of your life, and isn’t any more. This doesn’t need to be a depressing exercise; you can write about that time you lost the three-legged race at a picnic. What’s important is reflecting on this experience and what it meant for you —… Continue reading Serially Lost.

Day Eleven: Size Matters (In Sentences) Today’s Prompt: Where did you live when you were 12 years old? Which town, city, and country? Was it a house or an apartment? A boarding school or foster home?

Day One: Unlock the Mind To get started, let’s loosen up. Let’s unlock the mind. Today, take twenty minutes to free write. And don’t think about what you’ll write. Just write. Keep typing (or scribbling, if you prefer to hand write for this exercise) until your twenty minutes are up. It doesn’t matter if what… Continue reading The Key.

Give and Take

Day Seven: Today’s Prompt: Write a post based on the contrast between two things–whether people, objects, emotions, places, or something else. I don’t where this post is going. Just go with me on this. Going towards word association with this. You. Me. Here. There. Yes. No. Travel. Study. Stay. Go. Now. Later. Happy. Sad. Yesterday.… Continue reading Give and Take

Oh Happy Day!

Day Ten: Happy (Insert Special Occasion Here)! Today’s Prompt: Tell us something about your favorite childhood meal–the one that was always a treat, that meant “celebration,” or that comforted you and has deep roots in your memory. 23 years old and food is one of my favorite things. Growing up, and still to this day,… Continue reading Oh Happy Day!

So I signed up for Writing 101 a few weeks ago, and I honestly forgot that I had signed up. Then last week some stuff came up and when the challenge started, I was unable to partake in the first 5 days. So…since today is day 6 of the Writing 101 challenge, I will start… Continue reading Writing 101
