Write about something that makes you feel incomparably young. Maybe it's a song, a place, a memory - anything. Be young. Be timeless. Be infinite.
Challenge: Don't write in your normal location. Find somewhere new and possibly strange to write. In other words, don't move from the Starbucks up the street to the one two blocks away. Try writing on a park bench in a notebook or sitting on the floor with your laptop. Be adventurous.
Tip: Take inspiration from other works. For this prompt, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, and The Art of Getting By are three movies and/or books that have the feeling of youth. Don't be afraid to look at other stories. As artists learn from sitting in museums and sketching, writers learn from being encompassed in other stories and creating something like it.
Ready. Set. Be young.
