Daily Writing Prompt #17

Notes to self

Oops, meant to do a Sunday Submissions Roundup but it totally slipped my mind! Coming tomorrow.

We’re taking a detour with today’s prompt. It’s not generative but relates to the writing process. Specifically, that writerly urge to jot things down: fragments of sentences, potential book titles, observations of outlandish human behavior that will later serve as characterization.

Prompt 1: Share a random snippet of something you have recorded for your own reference later (the less context the better, multimedia encouraged)

Prompt 2: What even is your system of jotting down ideas?

Reply to this email by end of day to share your writing. Then see what everyone else wrote (no names!) in tomorrow’s newsletter.

We’re all mad here 😸

Writing inspo of the day

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
