Look back at a piece of writing that you did before the pandemic affected your life. This could be as simple as an email that you wrote, something as complex as a contract you made, or it could be something more creative, like a story or poem.
How would you write this text differently now? Perhaps a short story you wrote will now have this news in the background. Perhaps you can add new meaning to a poem because of something you’ve learned. Perhaps an essay you wrote will now include your current experiences.
Rewrite the piece you’ve chosen in a new way, looking at it with today’s eyes.
This post is part of a series I am doing that includes 30 prompts for 30 days of sheltering at home. You can read more about my reasoning and also find other prompts here. I would love to see what you come up with. Feel free to share here or to tag your work #shelterandwrite.
