Prompts:
1. Write a few pages about a therapist who is told a shocking admission by a patient and grapples with how to proceed.
2. Write a few pages of a story set in an apple orchard. Maybe two characters are on a first date, or one finds a talking worm poking out of an apple.
3. Write a few pages about someone who is walking down the street one day and notices a jack-o’-lantern on someone’s porch that is carved to look just like him or her.

Tips:
1. Did you know that a writing space curated to your needs will make you more efficient, productive, and even creative? So, if you don’t have one already, set up your ideal writing space. Then, set a timer for 15 minutes and get writing!
2. Whether it’s between a mother and daughter, two long lost friends, or an old man and his pet iguana, relationships are a dynamic part of any story. As you write (and read), keep in mind how all the different relationships in any given story drive the plot forward and raise the stakes.
3. Reading aloud is underrated. Yes, we all hear the words read by the voice in our head, but that is no match for the real one. When we read aloud, we can better pick up on rhythms we may not have noticed in our heads and enjoy the beauty of sound in language. Whenever you come across a sentence that emphasizes sound, try reading it out loud to appreciate it even more.
