Prompt 1 (adapted from Writers' Digest):
You've left town—ditching your old, miserable life—hoping to start a new life for yourself. You've given yourself a new name, fake background (including a fake mother tongue that you actually don't speak) and personal style. Write about your first encounter in your new town.

Prompt 2:
You arrive at work to find all the items in your cube packed up in a box. You have no idea what's going on, but there's a note that gives you directions to a boardroom down the hall. You walk in and there's a man at the front who is teaching in a language you don't recognize to a class of five-year-olds. It looks like the class is about trees. He indicates for you to squish your larger frame into one of the desks. Write this scene.
Happy scribing writerlies!

PS If you're looking for more inspiration, take a stroll to your public library and pick up a book in a language you don't understand - try to read it!! Write a story about what you think you just read...
