Burst of Creativity Series 001
Prompt 001: You receive a life changing email.
A prompt is a jumping off point for creativity. Though each prompt is technically a complete sentence, add the word “and” to the end of each prompt and let your mind drift, associate, and explore all the possibilities. Ask questions like who, what, when, where, how, why, what if, and what then.
You may create something based entirely on the prompt or you may write something that has nothing to do with it at all. You may come up with something completely fictional, something with a twist on reality, or something that is absolute truth. You may read a prompt that sounds scary or serious and turn it into something joyful or funny (or vice versa).
Remember that whatever comes from this will be a draft. It probably won’t be “good,” but first drafts rarely are. It might not even be a complete work but just a conceptualization or outline or idea. That’s okay, too. There are no rules in the creative process. There is nothing wrong with whatever you create. Trust yourself and your instincts. And, most of all, have fun!
NOTE: These prompts might say “you” do this or that. This does not mean you as the creator (unless you want it to). “You” can be any character, creature, object, or idea you want it to be.
