Writing Prompt Guidelines

Writing prompts come from Natalie Goldberg’s book Old Friend from Far Away.

If you’d like to join me, here are the guidelines ~

  • write by hand for ten minutes
  • keep your hand moving
  • don’t cross out
  • don’t worry about punctuation, spelling or grammar
  • be specific – not a bird, but a sparrow
  • say what you want to say, not what you think you should say
  • leave it for a day before you write up the finished piece on your blog (you can edit this version)

Link to your finished piece in the comments below the prompt you’ve followed.
