Max Tell / Halloween / Writing Prompt Two





Roast the Ghost Two

Set a timer for six minutes.

Write everything that is lousy about being a ghost and being stuck on earth for an eternity as nothing but a shapeless shadow. Write about your senses, and the lingering bad taste in her mouth, what things look like now in comparison to what they had looked like back when she was alive. Think about the awful sounds that haunt her every waking moment and the icky feeling of everything she touches. And finally, how it feels to live the dead life of a ghost whose only experience is one  endless, sleepless, and nightmarish night.

After the six minutes are up, highlight all the good stuff, and then write a poem, song, or story (picture book or YA novel chapter or part of) based on your notes.
