Writing Prompt for this week: \u00a0Go somewhere unusual — the side of the river, a park bench, steal into an empty conference room at lunch — and write, just write, freewrite, whatever comes to mind. That guy Fred whose cubicle is catty-corner from you and is constantly shuffling, the sound of the river’s current along the shore, the sound of the birds in the tree at the park. Anything. Everything. Just sit and write out of your normal writing zone. If you’ve never been to a write-in, that would qualify as well. Mimic a conversation you hear at the cafe. Incorporate it into your prose.<\/div>\n
**********<\/div>\n
And now your moment of Writing Zen:<\/div>\n
“Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast: in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.”<\/div>\n
