It had been hours since the last gas station.
Your task over the next few days is to write a piece of flash fiction, a micro memoir, or a poem
(or more than one if you’re so moved) inspired by the prompt, with one catch: it must fit on the back
of a postcard.
Snap photos of the front and back of your finished postcards, and share them with the hashtag #roadtrip. You can post them to our Flickr group, share on Twitter, or let me know in the comments where they are.
Really, as long as you label your pictures with #roadtrip when you post them online, I should find them!
These prompts are for you. Use them as they inspire you. Give yourself the pleasure of surprise,
the joy of some time to write and complete a small piece.
And since every road trip is better with good tunes, here’s a mix to enjoy while you write.
Be fearless, writers! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Huh. The idea that started forming in my living room changed completely by the time I arrived at work. I look forward to sharing it and seeing what people think. Interesting discovery over these past two exercises: if the writing is not somewhat autobiographical, the thought goes nowhere. That’s probably a no-brainer for a true writer, and maybe some insight as to why I’ve never explored writing for creativity. (I would call last week’s piece autobiographical fiction.)
