Creative writing prompts to get your creativity flowing!
I think this is a wonderful prompt idea!
It doesn’t have to be a poem… it can be a short story. It can just be a list.
Focus on the exercise of writing!
The way that it works:
1. Write the numbers 1-20
2. Write a different person’s name that you know beside each number
3. Write a confession beside each name
4. Erase the names

Provide some back story… or none at all.
Caption this…
The key is to just write.
