Writing Prompt: Writing Between the Cracks
March 30, 2008
Each month, we post a writing prompt tied to the current month's essay. Please email your responses of 500 words or less to lmreflections (at) literarymama (dot) com with the words "writing prompt" in the subject line so that we know it's not an essay submission. Submissions should be in the text of an email (please do not send attachments). We will accept responses until the 15th of each month and offer our feedback on each response privately before the end of the month. We hope you'll take this opportunity to get inspired, share your work, and find community with other writers! We'll post our favorites on our blog. Author Lily Dayton writes in those stolen moments between "potty training and ballet practice, laundry loads and dinner on the table." Jotting thoughts in a journal helps her keep track of what she composes in her head: "shadowy characters appear as I match socks and peel apples [or] push the sun-bleached jogger stroller down the trail." Do you write "in your head" as you go about your daily tasks? If so, describe your thought process. If not, reflect on how you generate writing ideas and fit writing into your daily routine.
