Prompts:
1. Write a few pages about a new principal at school who is hiding a secret from their past, but one student or teacher is on to them.
2. Write a few pages about a character who goes to work one day, at a job they have held for years, to find that none of their coworkers recognize them.
3. Write a few pages about a time-traveling romance. Maybe the characters are from the same time period but meet while jumping ahead to the future, or maybe your protagonist travels back in time and falls in love with someone there.

Tips:
1. A great writer knows when to rest. After all, nothing gets those creative juices more than living your life and exposing yourself to new experiences.Brainstorm different activities you can use your Sundays for that might liven up your storytelling.
2. Literature is a mirror into the author's mind, but also into the reader’s. Every story is open to interpretation: yours, mine and theirs. When discussing a story with others, focus on how the work elicits your interpretation, and be specific. Don't be dismissive of other people's interpretations. Instead, ask how they came to it.
3. One of the best ways to learn is to teach someone else. When it comes to reading, an effective way to make sure you understand a story is to tell it to someone else. Make it a point to summarize a story in a few sentences after you finish it. How would you explain it to a friend? If you find yourself struggling to encapsulate it, it may be time for a reread.
