Thursday Prompt

# 19

I just challenged one of my writing friends to this writing activity.

Now I will challenge you all.

At the beginning of the day,

each day,

before you write,

set a timer for three minutes, then write the first line of a new work.

A new picture book, a new short story, a new YA novel, memoir, poem, piece of nonfiction, etc.

That’s all.

Just one line.

Keep each one on a 3X5 card.

If emotions comes along with that line, jot them down on the back. A few ideas follow?Put those notes on the back, too. When the timer beeps, you stop writing and go to your WIP.

Put the 3X5 card next to your computer and watch the pile grow.

Let’s do this until WIFYR on June 12. We’ll get about 30 starts. Take off a day or two, if you want (I try to take the weekend).

On your mark, get set,

Let’s go!
