Prompts: Writing Like an MFer

Setting myself free.  Wild Mind is a freewriting technique from my paper mentor Natalie Goldberg.  Here's how I do it and a few prompts if you'd like to try yourself.

When I'm in a slump, my muse MIA, I set a timer, pick a topic, and write for the specified amount of time. I don't worry about punctuation or grammar.

As a friend and fellow writer once told me: "Take care of yourself and write like a motherfucker."
