Begin with the Future: Breakthrough tip for the week of 1/4/2016

She looks out into the unknown. The past surrounds her. She makes no soundand 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/
