Prompt

“Of course, because ayahuasca is now gentrified . . . ”  — an overheard conversation by a slightly overweight blond woman riding a bicycle and talking loudly into her cell phone as I waited for alternate-side-of-the-street parking to end in my parked car with windows rolled down, Sunset Park, Brooklyn

On Writing

Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!

There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.

Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.

Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .
