Prompts:
1. Write a few pages about a family vacation to the lake where people start to really get on each other's nerves.
2. Write a few pages about a mysterious boarding school where children of a certain family are sent when they reach a certain age, only to return quite differently.
3. Plants may respond to music, but imagine they could actually talk. What would your house plants have to say? What about the grass on your lawn? Write a few pages about a character who is the first to communicate with plants.

Tips:
1. Nothing is worse than reluctantly dragging a pen across paper. To improve your output, you have to focus on those things that motivate you to sit down and write. So, how can you feel energized to write? In your Will.Power Notes, make a list of action steps you can take to get ready for your next writing session.
2. The most valuable takeaways from a story are those that stay with us for hours, days or even years after reading. Contemplating what you can recall from a story is a useful tool to better analyze which aspects of the writing are effective and make an impact.
3. Whenever there are fantastical elements, such as magic, present in the story, it is useful to consider their purpose. Why did the author choose those specific elements of magic? Ask yourself what they bring to the story and imagine how the story would differ without them. If it wouldn’t change significantly, then they are not essential to the story.
