Polaroid Writing Prompt
Inspiration for good writing is all around us. When I think of how I write a scene or a memory, it mirrors the way a polaroid picture comes into focus. Very gradual, a little messy, but revealing nonetheless. Here is a writing prompt for those who are looking for a little inspiration. We used this to start our write-in, and the beauty that came from those passages was overwhelming. I think we could have written on this prompt all night.
What makes this one so special is that it allows the writer to really zero in on why he or she has always loved the picture. By taking time with these memories, other realizations occur as well. It always amazes me how the products from this prompt are never truly about the image but are oftentimes mostly about the time period of the picture or how far the writer has come since it was taken. This is a favorite writing prompt of mine, and I hope you like it, too.
It’s your turn. Try this one and let me know how it goes! Want more prompts? Check out my book 30 Days of Writing Prompts.

The Decade is Coming to a Close
There are less than 90 days in this decade. How does that make you feel? Normally, this realization would stress me out to the max, but I am a self-proclaimed lover of endings and beginnings.
Here are my plans!
Finish another novel.
Publish a book on CreateSpace with my blog partner.
Write another short story.
Write some poetry.
