back!

Sorry I've been out of the loop here...I hope I'll be more regular about this in the future! Anyway, here are some of the prompts we've been doing in the past weeks:

-Write a haiku about change (example: I am done with this/High heels, hair straighteners, giggling?/Time for a sex change)

-Write a haiku ending in "you should get that fixed" (example: Lucy! It's been years!/...you appear to have a child./You should get that fixed.)

-Write a piece of dialogue consisting only of questions

-Madlibs, of course

-Write from the point of view of someone who has been in the same room for years, whether because of imprisonment, phobia, or some other cause

-Write about something that, in retrospect, you probably should not have done.

-Your first sentence is "Every summer I ____, and every summer ____."

-Set the stage of a unique family eating dinner.

-Write about someone leaving home even though they don't want to.
