Put in one thing that happened to you — a daily writing exercise

One thing from your own life turns borrowed words into your piece.

How it works

Put in one thing that happened to you

Readers mark it. You do not grade yourself.

When the first line won't come

Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.

When it all sounds obvious

Delete every line anyone could have written. What is left is yours.
