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.
