Jill's Read Write Prompt for next week is an exercise in comparisons.

RANDOM PROMPTS

A different word or phrase will appear here each time you visit the site or refresh the page. Your current prompt is — mewl



RANDOM WRITING TIP

When you wake up in the morning, before you let your feet touch the floor, write the first five words that come to your mind. Try to use each word in a poem without cutting yourself any deals.



RANDOM READING TIP

Trace the inspiration of your favorite poets. With a little bit of research, you can find out who has taught or inspired your favorite writers. Read those poets and then, if you find ones you like, trace backwards even farther. See how far back you can trace the artistic roots of modern writers and still recognize the writing style.



RANDOM COLLABORATING TIP

Write two-word phrases with someone else. One person can supply the first word of the phrase, and the other person can supply the second word. Write your phrases down and each use some of them in a poem.
