Add warmth to your writing by noticing details: written in 10 minutes

When you notice details, you add warmth to your writing and to your life. You cultivate gratitude. Random writing prompts encourage detailed observation, because they surprise you, and when you’re surprised, you’re nudged out of the temperate zone of your everyday perceptions into something more deeply felt.

If you’d like to explore using random prompts to generate amazing dialogue, join us any Saturday for our Prompt of the Week gathering; the Zoom link is on our homepage: click here.

 
 

Inspired by a photo of Una Hanbury sculpting Georgia O’Keeffe, Anna-Louise Reysenbach wrote this lovely piece:

To know somebody

is to love their contemplation, 

their sun-kissed toes,

to feel their quiet, 

their comfort.

To journey together with shady lightness, 

to see eye to eye to eye

and immortalize the moments

in mirrors of memories
