I am trying to find ways to write more. I have been working on a murder mystery, but every time I go to write it I feel very disconnected from it. I believe it is because I lost the creative spark that is necessary to write through years of trauma and other stuff. That part of our brain that says we have to be an adult. I think there are voices that have to be appeased in my own head that are about my own past, while I move forward with writing. There are non-fiction things that need to be shared to clear out the clutter of my mind. It is like I need to clean out my attic in order to be able to move forward with my writing. I want to, however, keep writing. With this in mind, I am going to start utilizing this book that is pictured above. It is called “All Are Free to Write” by Sheila Allee. I will include the picture every single time I post from a prompt from this particular book. I am one month into doing this and I am finding there are times that are harder than others, but I am going to keep with it. I see a change on the horizon based on this and future prompts. I will probably be starting a second prompt book soon to help with content since I will not be having enough content with this prompt.
Prompt 4
There are 2 prompts for this week:
- Write a letter to someone whom you need to forgive.
- Write a letter to yourself about something you need to forgive yourself for.
I will be doing both of these prompts this week, but adding an additional book for later in this week.
Tomorrow, I will write the letter to myself and then after that I will do the letter to someone whom I need to forgive. I feel like this is the correct order for me for these two prompts. There will be a similar post like this around Wednesday or later for the new book for the second book of prompts for writing. I believe that one will be focused more on fiction writing, so that I have balance between the two and feel like I am also giving that part of my writing voice some air to breathe as well. I recognize I have only been doing nonfiction, so time to do the other.
