Write a haiku/senryu about “the morning after”.
A haiku is a three line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.
Then write a longer piece interpreting the haiku/senryu in a totally different manner than you originally intended.
You are in a grocery store/farmer’s market with the person you find yourself falling for.
Your vocal cords are not working.
There are no paper products to write on or with words that can express your feeling for you.
All you have is food and drinks.

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH
50,000 words in 30 days!!!!
So, before you start coming up with excuses I should give you a pep talk.
I am posting writing prompts that can be used for short stories, poems, essays, or prompts to keep your novel moving along.
So…
GET TO WRITING!!!
Take a moment and think about where you were on 9/11.
Even if you don’t want to remember the horror of that day, still think about where you were in life.
What were you doing?
Who were you with?
How did you feel?
Now run with it. Write a non-fiction or memoir piece about that day. Write a fiction piece using what you remember about yourself, taking the truth and spinning it. Write a poem about what you saw, heard, and/or felt.
Just write!

Take some time to write something that you have been afraid to write, that something that has been on your mind but you just couldn’t bring yourself to put it down on paper. Write it! Make a note in your phone! Let whatever it is go and let it be what it wants to be! See if you feel any differently when it is done.
In honor of the end of the month… write first about setting goals… then write about the feeling you get when you reach them.
Happy Writing!
Give yourself some time today. Write for six separate 10 minute sessions. Try not to do them back to back. Put at the very least thirty minutes in between the sessions, and hour or two would be better.
Write about what the holiday season means to you. It can be any big holidays that you celebrate. If you don’t celebrate holidays, write about how other people’s holiday season affects you.
Each session should inform the next, but try and take things in a totally different direction each time. Use your favorite format or however can best allow you express what you need to express.
Happy Writing!
