This Week’s Writing Prompt
Each week the featured author offers a writing prompt for you to use at home. I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. You can always edit later. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
Harlan’s writing prompt is: What are things about your childhood that you resented at the time that now create parts of your personality that you really love?
Lan’s writing prompt is: Think of a period in your life where you struggled with your own self identity vs. how somebody thought of you.
