Writing Prompt /// Coffee Break /// August 2016

 
 

Each month, I post a writing prompt that you take 10 minutes to write. Just 10 minutes to give yourself a break from what you are working on now but keep you in the flow of working. It may be a topic to write about, or it may be a way of writing that you don't normally use. I am going to try to mix things up so your brain doesn't get bored.

For August, the writing prompt is:

Headline News.

This writing prompt has two directions you could take it. The first option is to look at today's paper (or whatever you get your news from) and read just the headline; then, write a story, not an editorial piece, about what you that is related to that headline. The other option is to write a short piece about what type of headline you'd like to read instead of what the paper actually has printed.

Writing Prompt /// Coffee Break /// March 2016

 
 

Sometimes, you need to get out of your mind space, and step away from your current project. I've found that mixing things up can really help when I'm frustrated with a project and help me remember why I love my craft in the first place. With that in mind, I decided to start a new monthly segment, "Coffee Break" to help you give your mind a fresh jolt!

Each month, I'll post a writing prompt that you take 10 minutes to write. Just 10 minutes to give yourself a break from what you are working on now but keep you in the flow of working. It may be a topic to write about, or it may be a way of writing that you don't normally use. I am going to try to mix things up so your brain doesn't get bored.

For March, the writing prompt is:

Coffee or Tea?

You probably drink or both of these beverages, but at the very least know someone who enjoys one. Write about it!
