Welcome to this edition of Writing Prompt of the Week, which is a bit of a misnomer in that the posts are not exactly weekly and are, in fact, quite sporadic.
Be sure to check out last ‘week’s’ writing prompt here!
So, without further ado: Write about summer – that August heat; how the song of the cicadas pierces the heavy, humid silence every so often; the way the asphalt shimmers and the whole world seems like it’s about to melt. Write about summer love, whether it’s a romance that will withstand the test of time or just a fleeting, fragile thing that fades away once September comes and with it, the chilly promise of autumn.
For those of my readers located in the opposite hemisphere, try writing about the summer from afar – think about the feelings associated with observing a season from a distance; do you long for summer, or dread its coming?
Pepper your work with descriptions. Play with dialogue or try your hand at a new genre. But above all, have fun.
If you are feeling inspired by this prompt, let me know in the comments – whether it’s to share a favorite line of yours or just to drop in and say ‘hi!’
