You’ve bought an old chest of drawers and discover a piece of paper stuck inside. What is written on that piece of paper? Suggested brainstorming: • Where did these drawers come from? How old are they exactly? Is there something special about them, e.g. a hidden compartment where the paper was discovered? • Who put the paper there? When? Why? • What does it say on it? Does it look old or new? How is it written? Is the handwriting elegant or disjointed? • Is it a generic letter or an extract from a diary? Or is it addressed specifically to its discoverer? • How does the main character respond to what is said on the paper? You could keep going with brainstorming questions here. And as mentioned earlier, this is exactly what you want to get started with writing: to be metaphorically asked “what do you think about this?” You’re invited to answer these questions in your own unique way and write a story in response. @WritersCafe story #prompt
