Bumper Prompts
Trying out a new format...
Hi!
It’s been a little while since there was a prompts post, so this is hopefully going to serve as a bit of a catch up to give you some fresh ideas.
This Substack is reader-supported, and paid subscriptions mean I can do more of it! Please feel free to share it with friends you think would enjoy it. Thanks for reading.
Okay, pens ready!
Happy Few
Put a small group of people together in a place that they are happiest - how do they interact with one another?
Nine (I owe a debt to CAConrad for this one, it’s a little bit of a spin on one of their (Soma)tic exercises)
Write nine words as fast as you can. Don’t think about them, just write down the first nine words that pop into your head. Put them on paper, or in your notes app, and then go and do something else. When you’ve done whatever little job needed doing, come back to your set of words, think about them, and write something down about each of them.
Best dressed
Write about an outfit in your wardrobe (or someone else’s).
Love & Hate
Make a list of five things you love right now and five things you hate - is there something linking them that surprises you?
Timer
Turn off your tv/music/podcasts/whatever, and set a timer for ten minutes and write. Don’t reread, don’t edit as you go, just write for ten minutes with as little interference as you can. There’s something in there, I promise.
I’d love to know if this style was more helpful for you, or if you’d rather one prompt to see you through each fortnight?
