Write Over The Hump

This week we’re trying something a little different. To produce successful works we need to access our deepest emotions, not something that’s always easy. This week, I’m asking you to take a look inside and pull up some long-buried feelings, feelings that maybe you can use in something you are working on. When we access and use what we ourselves feel and experience, even if we twist them out of recognizable shape, it lends a true authenticity to our work that draws readers in. Set that timer for 10 minutes and begin!

This week’s prompt: Write about being sad.
