Monday: As I looked at her/him, my heart could only cry, “Unjust, unjust!”
Tuesday: A list of ways one can be hungry:
Wednesday: I have neither ____________ nor _____________, so I will…
Thursday: Today I choose…
Friday: Today I do not choose…
Writing Practice Rules:
- Grab a pen and paper or dictation device or computer.
- Write/record the prompt at the top of your page.
- Set a timer (you can adjust the time to suit your needs…I keep the practices short so they don’t seem overwhelming).
- Take a few moments to visualize what the prompt is bringing up.
- Write or speak or type!! Try not to edit or criticize. Just write.
- Write the details of what is coming up. I call this catching what rises.
- If you get stuck, make loops with your pen or nonsense syllables with your voice or tap the keyboard.
- If you get really stuck, rewrite/record the prompt as a new paragraph.
- Write the details of what you are seeing until the timer goes off.
