I have always enjoyed being in writers group and I've been in several! Seems there is always someone moving away and the group breaks up or someone new takes over and the group breaks up. You never know what you're getting into. I've learned new things from every group that I've been involved in so they have always been a good experience for me. One year a lady shared this writers prompt with the group and I enjoyed it and thought it was worth sharing with everyone else. Give it a try. Happy writing!
Setting: The name of a place you lived.
Use one sentence to describe that place.
Characters: One sentence about someone who lived there with you.
Point Of View: Think about how you felt when you lived in that place. Again, use one sentence to describe those feelings.
Expand on the scene by describing outside that place-one sentence.
Expand on the scene by describing one room inside that place-use more than one sentence here.
Stay in that room and think about one time when you were in that room. Describe what happened.
Take a memory through the years: Think about how you felt then. Have your feelings changed?
Vary the exercise by choosing themes: children, education, profession, faith, hobbies.
Reasons to write: to record, for historical value, to share insights into unique experiences, self-discovery, to make money.
