Stolen Inspiration

A few month's ago, I read an article in Poets & Writers about prompts.  A writing instructor (name forgotten, apologies offered) said he gets himself going in the morning by cycling through the alphabet, one letter at a time.  He maintained that the simple rigor of that action served as a kind of mental warmup - something to get his mind, and his fingers, crackling along.

I'm teaching a class at the Writer's Center this spring, and it will be very prompt-heavy, so I'm going to give this prompt-cycle a shot. And hey - "A" worked out alright.
