Day one: creative licence

Write about something that actually happened, but that you don’t have a full, first-hand account of, or have limited information about — either because you weren’t there for it, or you were there, but can’t remember/ your memory is spotty. This isn’t fabrication or fiction, because you’re drawing from factual information that you do have, extrapolating from that to imagine the rest. Often when we have limited information, it’s hard to reach a place of understanding, healing, and peace; so this exercise in filling in those gaps can help with that, and can help you move on.

This writing prompt was developed by therapeutic writing expert, Sarah Saffian.
