What To Write Wednesday: 8/6/2025

A strong opening can make or break a story, so that is what this weeks prompt will be based on.

Part 1: Write a prologue (150-300 words) that is a letter written by a character who knows their about to die. 

Part 2. The first letter of every sentence when put together in order needs to spell a message.

(If you have ever done an acrostic poem, that is essentially the concept.)

Example: 

You yearn to embrace the sun, but are scared to breach the safety of soil.

Only when the perfect conditions arrive will you arise from slumber and sprout.

Under the watchful eye of the world you unfurl your leaves and learn to dance in the breeze.

Growing pains paint the summer sky.

Rejoice in the rain, knowing nothing lasts forever.

On the horizon the promise of petals bloom.

Why are you scared to bear fruit?

Girl don’t you know you are priceless?

Imagine a being that comes back stronger every winter; and sweeter every harvest.

Remember, that's you.

Little seeds buried deep deep under doubt, it’s time to show the world what they've been missing.
