Openings – Writing Prompts
These stories were born from an online workshop – writing prompts for openings of 3-400 words. I wrote three out of four stories.
In 2015 I did the Depth workshop online. I had to write story openings according to a prompt. The last story opening was so well done, that the teacher said “Go write that story.” So I did.
The first prompt I couldn’t rewrite or continue,in spite of the two attempts. But these are the other three – the first few paragraphs straight from the workshop (in one case completely rewritten, though) – and the stories that sprang out of it.
Meeting in Kyoto (Bettie and her ex spouse)
Wishing Parenthood (Ben finds a child)
Christmas Gifts (Nancy in the snowstorm)
