Picture
Here's another writing prompt for you!

Connect with us via social media throughout the week and let us know how the writing is going. Use #mmGenerations. 

Here goes...
This prompt comes from Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burroway and Elizabeth Stuckey-French (pg. 257).
Set a timer for 15 minutes and write...
Make a list of activities that take place over a brief period of time, a few hours at most. Here are some ideas, but come up with your own: a dinner date, changing a flat tire, birthday party, a drive home from school, a basketball game, or cleaning your room. Try to write a short (five-page) story confined to that period of time.
Want some accountability around your writing? Post in the comment section below and let us know how the writing went.
