Robin Williams


Writing prompt:

Robin Williams' death: how has it affected you? What sort of issues has his suicide caused you to think about? 


Bring your output to the next meeting.

About writing to a prompt

Get your writing stuff ready.
Set a timer for 15 minutes.
Don’t think it.
Just start writing.
Keep going.
No stopping.
No editing (that comes later).
Forget grammar. Forget spelling.
Forget any “rules” you’ve ever been told.
Forget everything else and just write.
Now.
