Tuesday prompt: #40 2012

October 2, 2012 by L. Darby Gibbs

Today you will write about discomfort.  What does it feel like?  Get real descriptive.  Most importantly, get uncomfortable.  Sit on your seat awkwardly, twist your body around and hold it in place until you are uncomfortable.  Don’t eat if your hungry. Hold your arm straight up from your shoulder until it cramps, and then write about how it feels.  Don’t imagine; use your own experience to get into the details.  If you already have a cold, flu, arthritis, backache, then you are ahead of the game (for once it brings you benefits). Go for the sensation, the imagery of pain, stuffy headedness, tight muscles, stiffness, a sinus headache.
