Think of a place you cannot be right now. Maybe it is with someone you love, or a vacation you were planning, or even just your local hang out. Or perhaps it’s a place you don’t want to be right now. Describe that place in as much detail as possible so that we can experience it along with you.
What would it be like if you were currently there? Is it good or bad that you cannot be there? What does this place mean to you and what are the repercussions of not being able to be there? What would the repercussions be if you were there?
PS: Like always, you can fictionalize this prompt and use it to get started on a short story.
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.
This is a great idea!! I may have to try some of your prompts! I think a prompt idea (not sure if you’ve done it already) would be a story to tell of what its like to be ordered to stay home and what does one do to pass the time by.
Thanks for the idea! I will keep it in mind. I would love to see what you come up with if you try a prompt. Let me know!
Suggest me Some tips
I am bigginer !
The writing prompts are a great idea. I am thankful that you have taken the time to like my posts, and I wish you continued success with yours.
Thank you so much!
This a fantastic idea. Your prompt today made me think of New Zealand which we visited last year.
