Care Packages – Writing Prompt
Happy Friday, everyone!
We have a writing prompt for you. This one fresh from the Katie archives.
Because you’re so darn nice, you’ve decided to put together some care packages. Ten lucky people will be getting a care package from you. In each of the care packages, there will be a book, a song, and a fortune cookie sized piece of advice.
For each of the following people, choose 1 book, 1 song, and a brief piece of advice to leave them. Explain why you chose the pieces that you did.
- 2 close friends
- 2 family members
- 2 fellow bloggers
- 2 ex-friends/significant others
- 2 younger people in your life (10 or more years younger than you)
Don’t forget to put enough postage on those packages. The USPS WILL return them. Trust me.
*This is a writing prompt. Post a blog entry about it on your blog, then come on back here and leave us a link to your post. As always, can’t wait to see your responses.
If you have any Writing Prompt suggestions please e-mail them to twentysomethingwriters[at]gmail[dot]com. We’re looking for any writing prompt ideas, whether they are on the subject of writing or not. Send us your ideas!

I’m surprised only 2 people have done this prompt. I won’t be doing it, it’s too long. I like my writing to be pleasurable not feel like a chore. It just seems a little too much for a simple writing prompt.
It’s a great one though!! Katie I do believe you’d make an exceptional creative writing teacher for sure!!
