This month, we’ve tried a handful of prompts from The 3am Epiphany by Brian Kitely, a book of over 200 writing exercises. This is the last one we’ll be doing together this month. If you’ve been having a good time with these, or if they’ve been hard but constructive, I encourage you to grab a copy and try some others yourself.

Today’s ten-minute writing exercise is a modified and simplified version of #39, Letters from Inside the Story:

Have one character from a work in progress or a story you know well write a letter to another character in the same story. The character writing the letter will not send it.

Our themes this month are:

• First lines and beginnings
• The 3am Epiphany by Brian Kitely
• Sparks from Japanese literature
• Borrowed forms

We also wrote a complete work of flash fiction together the week of Monday, January 20 – Sunday, January 26.

We’ll do this all again in February with a new set of themes and a one-week flash fiction interlude starting February 17. See you tomorrow for a new day of writing!
