Take a pad of paper, notebook, or make notes in your mobile device of all the things you didn’t say in one day. Somethings may be things you didn’t say to someone or things that were on your mind that never came out to anyone. Whether it was fear, lack of time, or lack of opportunity… no matter what the reason… write it down. Let it breathe outside of your head.
Happy Writing!
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

Caption this… what is going on? Your character walks out of a room and sees this. What are they thinking?
Provide some back story… or none at all.
Caption this…
The key is to just write.
So, today I shall challenge myself!
JUST WRITE!!
Gracious is the Lord, and righteousness; yea,
our God is merciful.
The Lord preserveth the simple:
I was brought low,
and he helped me.
Psalm 116: 5-6
SIMPLY GOD’S
I see the position I hold in life
To me it looks kind of low
People seem to pass me by
But there’s one thing I know.
I know to whom I belong
Not some group pretending to care
No, in my darkest midnight hour
They will not be there.
I don’t belong on the outside
Trying to fit in
We all fall short of the glory
And sometimes land flat in sin.
No, I belong to God most high
For gracious is the Lord
Righteous and so merciful
To help me stay on accord.
When I look up from where I stand
And I see hills to climb are hard
And evil tries to push me down
I stop, because I know I belong;
I’m Simply God’s.

I just read this article about writing six word memoir…
I have seen other people write six word poems… but this idea really intrigues me.

Try it for yourself. Let me know what you think.
My first one: Sweetness turned bitter finding sweetness again…
Pick a time in the past in which you would have loved to be alive during. Why? What about it is so appealing?
Create a character who is the exact opposite of you, both positively & negatively. What do they look like? What do they sound like? Create a short background on them. What is their history? Where do you see there future going? (can be a page to the beginning of a book… your choice.)
As always…
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
My earliest memory is…
