Sarah Kay “If I Should Have a Daughter”

Here is some amazing spoken word poetry by Sarah Kay. Keep in mind that poetry can be a rambling stream of thoughts, that turns into something beautiful. Get your thoughts out there, on paper or in word. It can just as beautiful as something that rhymes (or even more so).

Writing Prompt - Group Effort

For this week’s writing prompt you are encouraged to make it a partner project: get together with a friend, fellow student, or significant other and give this one a try:

With a partner, spend a few minutes “people watching” in a public place. Pick a person you see and write a detailed physical description of that person. Then write a quick “backstory” about that person—i.e., a quick synopsis of their background, their personal and professional lives, etc., and then imagine an interesting situation that person might find themselves in. Meanwhile, your partner should do the same for a different person. When you’re done, exchange either the physical descriptions or the backstories and then write a scene or a short story using the elements that you now have. Does your perception of how you might expect a character to behave change as a result of the change in the character’s physical appearance and dress?

Writing Prompts - Week 3

Presenting the third week of writing prompts/inspiration from ONU’s Polaris Magazine:

Think of a situation in which a long-held fear or anxiety that you have comes true (this should be a situation which could, but has not yet happened). Now, using the third-person mode of narration, write a scene—or a very short story—describing a fictional version of yourself dealing with the situation.
