STORY STARTER
Inspired by Adelina
Write a story about a struggling author who hates their own book but knows they must finish it.
Sorry But This Prompt Is So Me
Published pain turned into power.
When my ink went dry,
I pulled the blood from my veins,
and used it to write out every pitiful paragraph.
My pain turned palpable,
and I manipulate it,
twisting and tearing it,
until it makes a book of pretty words,
with poison in the pages.
If I am not an author,
I am nothing.
Left to my demons,
The voices In my mind.
I’ll make the stories,
I’ll pitch the poems,
I’ll tell the tale,
Of the hauntings in my head.
If I don’t let it out,
All of this pain,
Would be for nothing,
It would be pointless.
I can turn my trauma into one thing,
And that is a story,
Full of broken characters,
broken characters like me.
