Okay, I’m going to attempt to write a brand new story. I’m looking up prompts because I’m no good at just writing. I need an idea. However, after looking up many prompts, they all seem a bit silly. They seem more like something that I would want to write about if I were giving my mind a fun vacation. I think I’m going to try either a flash fiction (the post “Wow” is a flash fiction piece) or another poetry and prose piece (“Story Time” and “Something New” are poetry and prose pieces). I think those are how I best write stories. I’ve tried writing stories in verse (like an Ellen Hopkins kind of thing), but I end up just writing poetry. At this point I’m just stalling because I’m not creative enough to just write a story. So I think I want to write flash fiction (because it’s shorter). I honestly don’t know what to write about though.

When I write stories I get a picture. For my previous flash fiction “Sitting in my Chair” I saw a young girl gripping the bottom of a chair so tightly her knuckles were white, but her face was innocent and calm. For the story “Girls Like Us” I saw a girl squinting in the light of the passenger mirror thing with makeup streaming down her pale face. I keep trying to make a new picture, but mostly it’s just blank. If anything, I see white lace. I think I’m going to attempt to write about a wedding because of the lace, but we will see how that goes. If you guys have any ideas always feel free to share with me.

I’m also in the middle of writing a new poem, but it’s a very intense poem. I only have a little of it written, and I already know it’s going to be heavy on the metaphors. Wish me luck! Okay, so who knows what my next post will be. It may be an update, a poem, or even a story! I’m excited to find out. Until next time
