Start in the middle
Time for our next prompt. Write a poem or prose that begins mid-sentence, as if the reader is arriving late to a conversation, event or activity that begun before their arrival. It's all about experimenting with dropping the reader straight into the action. What does starting in the middle change? Have a go. Maybe recall a situation where you found yourself in a similar situation. Write from there.

…only that one time we shared something Sweet and sensual, just what I needed Just what I’ve craved ever since! Just me, the Moroccan, and child bride while my shy sister sat on the side fiddling with the camera. (This is about smoking a hookah in Paris with Moroccans. Apple flavored tobacco! lol)
