Writing 5: pondering

Going outside

After a monumental shift in reality

And seeing the same flowers blooming there

As yesterday

[elliot-amy]

chaotic muppets interview

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

These are the words of puppeteers who should not be up this early

Writing 4: the little moments

There is something

To the early morning

Yellow light

On light blue

Cool air

And streaks of clouds

Heat rising from the mug

Like everything has just begun

Writing 3: con mis amigos

Mis amigos y yo comemos Pizza. La musica es a todo volumen. Frank escribe en sus computadora. Yo sonrío. Es un día grande.

(pls point out any mistakes in the grammar/vocabs that you can find. Estoy nuevo y quiero aprender.)

Writing 2: five sentence stories

When Steve entered the kitchen, the fire had already claimed most of the room. He looked around, his fire extinguisher falling uselessly to the side. It was already too late. The smoke enveloped him, sharp tendrils sneaking up his nostrils, threatening to overtake his senses. His kitchen now, all gone.

How the 5 sentence story prompts work:

I have a randomizer document with a column for emotions, for items/nouns, and senses. (I spiced it up by adding a language too)

You roll for one emotion, three objects and one sense.

And then write a story using five sentences with that prompt, which is the main restriction.

(the goal is generally to try to evoke that emotion and focus on that sense)

I Don't remember where I got this from.

I looked at my previous files taht i did this on and it was apparently called "Scrap - five sentence stories" (which doesn't yield any results when I google it, sadly).

But it's been helping me with writer's block in the past. And I'm enjoying it now once again. To fiddle with words in a limited length of text.

Writing 1: poem (it turns out that's what my brain will allow past the wall of writer's block)

There is a hole in my chest

That I plastered over with dry wall.

A papermaché wall.

Blocking the pain.

And blocking the feelings.

Replastering it every day

Because I can't let the feelings through.

I can never be broken again
