I don’t know where you live, but where I live I could be snowed in this time of year with very little notice.  If I get snowed in I’ll usually put a movie on or grab a book off the shelf.  Sometimes, however, I’ll use the opportunity to Notebook.  Here’s a few writing prompts to entertain you until it’s time to start shoveling snow.

• Pick a thing that’s not on your Content List that you like and describe why you like it.  This could be anything from something small like cold pizza to something longer like the sound of different types of laughter.
• Choose a moment in your life that you recall vividly. Now describe it from someone else’s perspective.
• Look around.  Choose the most common or boring inanimate object.  Describe it in the most exciting, interesting or romantic way you can.
• Write a “Knock-Knock” joke.
• Build a menu, whether for a restaurant or an event, that focuses on a bizarre theme.  Such as:  pregnancy cravings, childhood comfort foods, cooking only by geothermic steam, savory cupcakes/desserts, etc.
• Describe a nesting doll based on people that have influenced your life.  Who would these dolls depict?  In what order?  What would they be wearing?  Are these people you know or people who’s work influenced you?

I hope these entertain you and don’t forget the hot cocoa!
