[stylist] Writing Prompt for Anthology

[Kerry Thompson]

Hi friends,

If I have posted the below already, please excuse me. I haven't been feeling well recently, and find myself somewhat confused.

Chris Kuell suggests the following writing prompt for those who might be interested in writing for the anthology:

Clear your mind and imagine that you are traveling in a car. Unfortunately, your car breaks down in front of an old house. The house is abandoned, the grass long or maybe covered with snow. Despite the outer disrepair, the inside of the house, aside from  being dusty and smelling of time, is relatively intact. The generations and families that once resided there are gone.

Write a piece of prose or poetry about a holiday that took place in that house. The holiday should be the one closest to your birthday. Try to incorporate as many senses as possible.

He adds:

Okay, just please encourage people to be creative, and not to take the prompt literally. Rather, use it as a springboard for your muse. Write something creative in the genre, style and form of your choice. The only elements are house, family, and holiday. I'd also add that if people would like constructive feedback, please say so and encourage members to give it. That way we not only get material for the anthology, but improved material for the anthology.

Solidarity and Peace,
Kerry
