In my last newsletter I shared a writing prompt. I love writing prompts myself. When I'm staring at a screen that hasn't changed in hours or out the window at the falling snow, they break my brain. Sometimes, the right prompt can even help me with the thing I am actually trying to write.
Today, I want to share with you some of the writing that was generated by our very creative community after reading that prompt.
The full prompt was:
Today is the day I run...
We run towards.
We run away.
We run on the spot.
What will you run with today in your writing?
For example:
Today is the day I run towards the light...

Today is the day I stop, I won't run no more!
Sometimes we hide
from the world outside,
a shelter of sorts.
Sometimes we fight.
Doan Luong
Today is the day I run
Not away from my troubles;
neither towards some goal or dream
Not by request;
nor am I being forced
Not due to need;
no urgency or demand
Not through desire;
nay for any particular reason
I run because I can;
because today, I run
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful writing with me! And for allowing me to share it with others.
