The Worst Birthday
PRACTICE
Yesterday was my birthday. So I thought, Why don’t we write about birthdays?
But as I tried to write about my nice, happy birthday, I realized, Happy birrthdays are boring!
Instead, let’s write about the worst birthdays we (or our characters) ever had.
Write for fifteen minutes. When you’re finished, post your practice in the comments section. And if you post be sure to give feedback to a few other Practitioners.
Pinterest Prompt
We’re going to do something a little different today.
Pinterest is a social “dream board” that’s grown to gigantic proportions over the last year. If you aren’t on Pinterest yet, you’re a man.
Today, let’s use it to find some writing inspiration. We’re all going to find a picture on Pinterest that captures our imagination, we’ll link to it, and then write about it here. Sound fun?

Family Fudge
“Family is like fudge: mostly sweet with a few nuts.” – Anonymous
The challenge is: how do you capture those nutty relations in writing?
Crowd scenes are the hardest to write. Throw together a crowd with years of shared memories, emotions, and tensions and you might as well just give up now.
Wait!
