1-MINUTE PROMPT:
Think of a time you stayed up all night. Describe your memory of the sky’s transition from dark to light during sunrise.
5-MINUTE PROMPT:
Which do you prefer, the glow of the streetlights or the glow of the Milky Way? Imagine that night, with all of its natural and man-made ambience, has its own Yelp page. Give night a review that makes mention of a memory of something that happened after the sun went down.
10-MINUTE PROMPT:
Remember a time you enjoyed an evening outside, whether it was camping in the woods or strolling a carnival while noshing on some cotton candy. Write about your experience as though it’s an excerpt from the middle of a novel. Let the plot and characters take you where they will, even if it veers from your memory.
20-MINUTE PROMPT:
Brainstorm a list of sights and sounds that you’ve experienced at night, from fireworks to dance parties to insomnia. Use the items on the list to make up a supernatural manual or dictionary that outlines the favorite activities of creatures of the night, such as ghosts, demons, werewolves, vampires, and other monsters.
