Hi all.

I'm taking a snippet from Shery Ma Belle Arrieta's most recent article, "You Don't Need Inspiration!" and using it as an exercise below.

Have fun with this one! Pick ONE of the TWO ideas below and write about it OR combine the ideas into ONE new tile. Good luck!

QUOTE

"You think you have writer's block? Think again! You sure as heck don't need inspiration to write! What you do need are prompts to help get your writer's mind working and your hands writing or typing. You don't need inspiration. All you need is an idea; a spark."

1. Pirates no longer just refer to the highwaymen of the seas. There are different breeds of pirates today. Write about today's pirates and what they're pirating.

2. The US Declaration of Independence begins with this line:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." Write your own Declaration of Independence by using the same line as your starting point.

GOOD LUCK!
