This Week’s Writing Prompt
I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. You can always edit later. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.
This week’s writing prompt is: Even though people prefer to read about heroes and winners, try to own being less than or different from those who are celebrated. Write about your own experiences of being victimized and how you avoided identifying as a victim.
