Cryptonaturalist Writing Sprint Prompt

(2022/05/02)
Writing Activity: 5 Minute Writing Sprint

Use the following poem by @cryptonaturalist (from Instagram) as a writing prompt for a 3 to 5 minute writing sprint. If possible, use the first three minutes to freewrite without your fingers ever leaving the keyboard or your pen ever leaving the page, and then use the last two minutes to go over what you wrote and correct the odd unfinished word/sentence and round out the lines to make it a little more complete as a first draft.

“Take five minutes to be a newcomer inside your skull.
Without plans.
Without regrets.
Without expectations.
Ask your senses a newcomer’s question:
What is good here?
What is nice to feel?
What holds my attention?
In the bright woods of this moment, rediscover something to love.”
