Write Starts: Creative Prompts to get You Writing! Part 9

I recently received a wonderful gift: a thin journal filled with the most randomly outrageous and mundane prompts, all in the hopes to get the writer inside of me to write. I will do my best to fill this book. I'll keep this short and sweet. Now let's go!


Prompt: Write about the pleasures of home.


On my way home, I've gotten lost again. Where I've been, I don't know. I was too busy looking at the ground. And I never knew to keep my head straight. But there's something beautiful happening tonight.


I'm no longer scared
Of all these troubles I bear


My youth returns to me. And I can make it home. To a place I've never been. But it feels like home.


So there's something beautiful happening tonight. If I can hold it longer for that something right.
On my way home, I've gotten lost again. Because I've never been there.


But there's something right
That's happening tonight

DEATH: I keep it in my pocket.
MYLO: Is it dead?
DEATH: No, nothing ever dies. You see, my job is quite easy.
