Writing Prompt First
This is my first blog post so I thought I'd take first as
the first writing prompt. By the time you get to my age there aren't that many
first times so you tend to take note of them.
A youngster will have lots of firsts every day but
as we become more experienced, the firsts tend to
dwindle away.
What firsts have you had lately?
What firsts will your character have to deal with? Often,
partners will have set roles - one will deal with insurance claims and check
the car is licensed while the other will sort dripping taps and and hang
wallpaper. But what happens if they split up? Can they each deal with the
other's responsibilities for the first time?
Maybe there are silly little things one partner does every day that the
other wouldn't even attempt, and vice versa.
What about some exotic firsts? I wouldn't mind having my
first balloon ride or first scuba dive.
What if your character has a first normally
experienced when much younger - and adult with measles or first love in their
forties, perhaps? Why didn't it happen at an earlier time?
I've already had an idea for a first story, let's see what
you can come up with.
