USING PROMPTS

Prompts are an excellent to begin crafting a piece of writing. Last year at church a group of us used prompts to create a performance about affordable housing."A Tales Of Two Cities"was performed at church, an open mic and at a community forum.

Prompts are cues in which words are used to lead to other words. Today, I wrote a poem using a article of clothing. Last night I wrote a poem about a subway station that I frequent. Prompts can a word, a sentence, a street scene,a question, and other forms. It's common among actors when prompts are used when a performer forgets his/her line(s). It's fun and can inspire us to write. Give it a try and see what happens.
