CREATIVE NONFICTION PROMPT

“‘Now I can have a glass of orange juice in the morning and read the newspaper.'” In the New York Times essay “Philip Roth and the Whale,” Nathan Englander recalls Roth, who passed away last month, speaking lightheartedly about his free time upon retiring from writing fiction. If you had an abundance of free time, what are the small activities you would most look forward to enjoying? Write a personal essay about the simple, everyday things you wish you had more time to do, that are often sacrificed to a busy schedule. How are these activities enticing in a way that is different from the excitement of grander plans?

FICTION PROMPT

Lexie Smith and Gideon Jacobs are currently writers-in-residence for a short story project at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. Travelers who stop at the Landing Pages kiosk through the rest of this month can submit their flight number and Smith or Jacobs will write a custom story over the length of their flight and send the finished story to their phone upon landing. This week, write a series of short stories that take place in an airport or on a plane. Give yourself different amounts of time to complete each story, perhaps starting with fifteen minutes and building up to an hour. What conventional expectations of a story’s beginning, middle, and end are in place when thinking about air travel, and how might you subvert them?

Dear Yann,

7 days till my birthday!!!!!!!! Today was on ok day as I was woken up at 5:55 am by a telephone call from Patty. She had to be taken to VGH as she couldn’t breathe properly. She’s fine now. I wrote my English Provincial from 9am – 12 pm in which I finished at 11:22 am with 38 minutes to spare. I walked around the school getting more signatures for my yearbook. Then I got my extra History lesion which was helpful to me. Tomorrow I have a Geography Provincial. I am very well prepared. Love, Tara Kimberley Torme

Dear Yann,

8 days till my birthday!!!!!!!! Library Party!!!!!!!! Today I had the most perfect day ever. I had a great interview at Little Mountain, followed by a great review session for Geography and then the most perfect Library Party. I got lots more signatures for my yearbook. There was lots of ice-cream and cake and cookies. I loved that. I took some pictures, too. Then Mrs. Simmons gave me a certificate and a book prize. The book prize was a book of poetry. I loved it so much! When I got home, I reviewed for my English Provincial tomorrow. Then some relaxation. Tomorrow is a long day for me. I have a history class after my English Provincial. My timing is perfect. Everything is under control. Now I am going to bed. So, good night! Love, Tara Kimberley Torme

Today after work I am spending time catching up with my writing. I’ve got prayer journals to work on. And I’m creating templates for people to use in the future. My goal is to get the entire world thinking on a deeper level for themselves. I want to spread tons of positivity & thoughtfulness towards the entire world.

Today after work I had my monthly CBT appointment. I gave my CBT Counsellor my latest poetry book & one of my blackwork bookmarks I made. And a book I just finished reading today went to her as well. It feels so great to pass along books I no longer need to others who will read them. Today is awesome!
