This is a selection we've harvested from our archives, RELOAD THE PAGE for more!
Prompts:
1. Write a few pages about a family pet that is literally reborn, as in reincarnated. Do they come back as a puppy, or as something very different, like a tree or a new friend that just moved into the neighborhood?
2. 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.
3. Write a few pages about a character who reluctantly embarks on a fishing trip and reels in something other than a fish.

Tips:
1. Reading a story requires patience and paying attention to detail. With so many available distractions, we can sometimes miss important aspects of a story we’re reading, especially if we’re multitasking or face interruptions. A quiet, distraction-free environment is ideal, but no matter where you’re reading, try to focus on the story alone. There is no shame in re-reading either!
2. 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.
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.
