Who Gave You Your Name?

Who will know your story if you don’t begin to write it now?
I’m such a fan of writing prompts. For me, they are the juice that gets me going. Like a morning cup of joe, they clear the pipes and defog the eyes.
Write for ten minutes on each of these prompts. Use a separate page for each. Put pen to page and just write. First thoughts, no censoring. Now go…
- Who gave you your name?
- How did they choose that name for you?
- Did you have a family nickname?
- Who gave you the nickname?
- How did you feel about being called that special name?
Now, take what you have written. Reread. Write for 30 minutes on each of the above over the next few days, or weeks, and develop a short vignette.
Good read, thanks. Always looking out for weird and wonderful stuff to read
