Writing Prompt Wednesdays
Finding my voice saved my life. Decades ago, I transformed my relationship to power through writing. I found a way to articulate what wanted to surface. Through my expression I established strength, grounding, and connectedness in my body/mind and with others.
Writing is a versatile activity and can be done anywhere. It doesn’t require elaborate equipment. Writing is cool.
I used to be shy, but I love people. My solution? I’ve been known to show up at parties with my notebook. If dancing or music wasn’t happening, then writing happened. And inevitably, fascinating conversation happened – usually with other writers, songwriters, and/or artists.
Writing, can be an icebreaker without the awkward small talk!
All you need to do is have pen and paper and keep your hand moving!
Every Wednesday, I post a prompt, usually a quote, as a springboard for stream-of-consciousness writing. Check out the prompts here.
The next time you reach for your phone, I challenge you to instead, reach for a pen, grab a prompt, and get writing. If you want to go a step further, share your writing in the comments, or start your own blog!
