Writing Prompt: Quote by Helen Keller

By Janfishler Leave a Comment

This month I thought it would be fun to use quotes for inspiration. Whether you agree or disagree, quotes generally make us think about a particular aspect of life—either our own circumstances or those of a character we are writing about. The point this month is to see how a particular quote affects you and how you choose to respond. As always, write for at least five minutes.

May 1 Writing Prompt: Quote by Helen Keller

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

~Helen Keller

Write about something that  touches your heart and how it makes you feel.
