Prompt 74: Make Sense of Random Words

June 23, 2016 Amado Prompts

The random can lead you in interesting directions. If you always do things that make sense to you, you will always follow the paths and patterns of your personal sense of making sense. Sometimes, having to deal with the unexpected is what it takes to teach us something new to us. With that in mind, Read More

Prompt 73: Sing a voicemail.

June 16, 2016 Jascha Hoffman Prompts

Ring ring! Calling all SSS members! This week we’re going to switch up the format a little bit. Most of our prompts ask you to share a little song on the Internet. Which is fun. But this week, let’s get personal. Let’s leave *singing voicemails* for one another. A sort of improvised phone tree, if you will. Here’s how it’ll work: 0) Read More

Some people have developed their improvisational ability with language such that they can tell a cohesive and compelling story on-demand. Or even freestyle rap, rhymes and flow and everything.

May 19, 2016 Amado Prompts

Things change. That’s it; that’s the rule. Bare sticks turn to budding trees, buds turn to leaves, leaves turn colors. Skies change from blue to grey to blue again. Teenagers experience dramatic changes to their bodies, but as we continue to age the changes to our bodies never really stop. Even the rivers change in Read More
