Transitions

Write about a transition—a time when everything changed. Maybe it involved entering a chapel or a hospital room or stepping on or off a train. Transitions can be terrifying, awkward, exhilarating, and memorable. Write about one. 

In Memoriam

Sometimes it seems things do come in quick succession. The need to write sympathy notes, for example. Looking back at your own life, what do you want said about you in an obituary or memorial? Don't look at this as morbid, but rather see it as an invitation to take stock of yourself, your accomplishments, your legacy. Try it!
