Prompts

In coming months, we'll be posting a lot of writing prompts. These prompts are meant to inspire a story within you (albeit a short one for our purposes) which you tell the group in the comments. You can even link to your response on another blog or written platform.

Prompts are a great way to let your imagination run wild while keeping an eye on the length. Typically speaking, prompts are supposed to inspire one-page or a handful of paragraphs of writing. If they inspire more in you, that's great! But only share smaller portions or links in these comments. Thanks.

1. Imagine you have an extremely rare disease that forces you to tell the truth (like the movie with Jim Carrey) then introduce yourself to someone (in your story) - it can be anyone you like. This person will listen intently for as long as you speak (write) and asks who you are. What do you say? Go into as much detail as you like and remember, you have to tell the truth.
