She looks out into the unknown. The past surrounds her. She makes no sound but all around her the world shrieks and rattles and hisses. She is the beginning of a new Breakthrough feature. I’ll post a prompt once a month. You are invited to use it for your writing. Set a timer for thirty minutes (Part of this breakthrough tip is to make thirty minutes for your writing.) Start the timer and write without stopping. If you’ve never done a freewrite before, here’s the way one might look: Woman and a fence…now what..I have no idea..I’m stuck here for 29.9 minutes…blah blah blah…
Please send us what you write – edited or unedited. Again, the first person who sends a piece to be published in next week’s Breakthrough Writing wins a half hour writing consultation with me.
I’m teaching a one day Writing the Forbidden workshop at the Virginia Piper House at ASU in Tempe. Here’s the info. We have a couple spots left. Love to see you there. ms http://piper.asu.edu/workshop/writing-the-forbidden/
