Writing Prompt 228 – know-how begins with no way

Prompt

“You are so fucking DIY.” Timothy McCown Reynolds

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 . .

  1. A poem from my Book…A Better Life

    Dad worked hard and was never around, His children ran wild on the streets.

    He justified his plight by saving for a better life.

    Money was great he saved every cent.

    He stayed on this path for the rest of his life, Never enjoying the fruits of his strife.

    He enforced his household with a military style teaching what he thought was right.

    Sparing the belt he did not never explaining why.

    As the years passed by his kids left home seeking the path their father had shown,

    Not even one finding their own.
