Prompt Me!

What better way to move through the meaningful process of perfecting the art of creative writing, than letting a series of simple prompts guide your pen strokes? From childhood reminiscences involving huge mounds of snow, basketball challenges, horseback riding, and beloved pets, the author graduates to tales of country-western dancing and motorcycle trips. Life in Germany plays a prominent role in her wistful thoughts, as do her treasured graduate school experiences in Pennsylvania. Turning philosophical, the author ponders her coping mechanisms, mask-wearing, and decision-making. Ultimately, she comes to surprising conclusions about what doesn't fit anymore, including Parisian skirts and assorted husbands; and she looks to the future -- where possibility lives.
