This prompt is inspired by Scott Fitzgerald’s letter to his daughter.
Imagine your character receiving a letter from an older person (or if you’re writing for adults, imagine the letter writer as a younger person). This letter contains a list – Things to worry about and Things Not to Worry about.
Write a scene where the character is reading the letter and reacting to it.
- The list must include two sections – things to worry about and things not to worry about.
- There must be a max of 3 people in the scene and a minimum of one.
- The letter-writer should not be a contemporary of whom they are writing to.
