The Road Trip & Other Writing Prompts

Write for ten minutes without stopping, stalling, or second-guessing the direction of your work. At the end of ten minutes, you might have the start of something bigger. Or you might not. Either way, it’s both fun and good for your brain, so find a prompt and just write.

--Have you ever flown in a helicopter?

--Do you have a vegetable garden?
