Writing Prompt, 2.2.11

Sometimes creative "blocks" happen. It sucks, but it's true. I've occasionally received emails from friends that read "I don't know what to write; give me a prompt." I figured this site is as good a place as any to respond.

If you're stuck for something to write, here's something to get your brain churning, especially for those of us who are used to writing only literary fiction. Dive into a genre exercise and see how well you fare:

You wake up here, in Cuba. You feel groggy and sluggish, and don't remember how you got here. The last thing you recall is leaving your loft in Philadelphia to meet your cousin for dinner. Everything after locking your door is gone. What now?



Feel free to leave your response in the comments if you'd like, but it's not mandatory. As long as this prompt gets you writing and thinking creatively, that's all that matters!
