More Natalie Goldberg prompts

Hand and Wrist

Tell me about someone's hands.  Maybe forget about the hand altogether.  Can you tell me about his wrist?  Was it hers that tipped the scale and made you fall in love?  Wrist, what an odd and wonderful word, when you think about it.  Ten minutes. Go!

Jump

Tell me about a time you knew glory.  Jump in.  Write ten minutes.

Care

When did you pretend not to care?  Go.  Ten minutes.

Test IV

Three minutes on each of these topics.  Stay with details.

  • A memory of bread and butter

  • A memory of drinking out of a bottle

  • A hill you once knew

  • A recollection of mist

  • A moment in a library
