Last month, I started writing posts from prompts in the Writing Down the Bones Card Deck by Natalie Goldberg, shared with me by my friend Barb Edler of Iowa. I’m continuing this month so that I can experience the entire deck of prompts. Goldberg’s book was among those recommended at the top of my reading list by the chair of my doctoral committee a decade ago, and the messages about writing remain timeless.
So let’s begin September with a farewell letter. Today’s card: Write a farewell letter. Mine is to the mindset on the arrival of fall.
believe it
summer is over
it flew past
without brakes
work routines resume without
flip flops and sunscreen
