Prompts:
1. Romance writers aren't horsing around. Write a few pages of a romantic scene set in a moving vehicle.
2. Imagine you were given a golden ticket to go anywhere in the world. Where would you go? Write a few pages about your travels to a far-off destination.
3. What if the first day of fall marked a day when something other than leaves fell, all around the world? Whether people, coffee cups or clouds, write a few pages about a global falling of some kind.

Tips:
1. 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.
2. 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!
3. Whether it’s a new word, a different perspective on a life experience, or a writing technique we haven’t used before, every story has something to teach us. It is good practice to think of yourself as a student anytime you read. Always think about what you can take away and apply back to your own writing to make it stronger.
