Welcome to Friday’s edition of Writing Prompts for Stay-at-Home Writers. Today’s prompt is from Emily Chenoweth.
Emily Chenoweth teaches our popular Writing A Novel in 8 Weeks class. She is the author of the novel Hello Goodbye (Random House), which was a finalist for an Oregon Book Award and named one of the top ten Northwest books of 2009 by The Oregonian. She’s also a co-author of the books Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat #1 and Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat: Enemies #2. She shared the following prompt, which she says “might be a prompt that originally came from Abigail Thomas, author of Three Dog Night and other lovely books.”
Prompt:
“Write two pages of what you have too much of.
(In this case, the “you” could be actually you, or you could write as one of your characters)”
