Prompt List

Here are some prompts from past places and times.
And I'm aware it's a repeat.

-What problem did you solve today and how? Untangle a necklace? Play peacemaker between family members or friends? Figure out a tough answer related to math? Slice about it!

-Slice about your favorite book/movie/TV show/story. Describe what it is and why you like it.

-What is an interesting relationship or attachment you have to a random object like: your favorite pen/pencil, piece of clothing, keychains, stuffed animal, etc.

- Write about how to have a good relationship with anyone or anything?

- Write about a double life that you lead. How are you perceived differently by different people so that you might have different "personalities?"

- Write about a time today where you had to hurry up and wait. Was it for your parents? Did a computer have the spinning beachball of death on it? What did you do and how did you feel during the wait?

-Write about a moment of contrast like: Ice cream on a hot day, walking into a dark movie theater, two opposite but strong emotions at the same time.

- Lost in translation. Write about a time you misinterpreted something, either from another language or just took things the wrong way.
