Happy New Year! May your goals and hopes come to fruition in 2009!
This prompt focuses on juxtaposing the words "never" with "always." In this exercise, you will alternate sentences beginning, "I never..." and "I always..." The rules are as follows:
- Time yourself for 5 minutes
- Do not stop writing
- Do not lift up your pen
- Do not cross anything out
-AND-
- Do not follow a "never" with a "never" or an "always" with an "always."
Once you finish the prompt you should have an interesting collection of thoughts. Because we often make resolutions this time of year, this exercise can help to shed light on some of those "I should..." and "I can't" thoughts that are clogging up the mind.
Happy Writing!
