Getting Creative Juices Flowing

Sit down and set a timer for ten minutes. Write your prompt at the top of a blank piece of paper.
Then for ten minutes, write stream of consciousness style, without letting your pen leave the paper except to move to a new letter, on the topic you selected. Don’t censor, don’t edit, and don’t stop. When the timer goes off, allow yourself to finish whatever sentence you are on, and then you’re done.  Read what you’ve written, and reflect if anything emerged from that process that surprised or intrigued you.
