Writing Prompt: February 3, 2014

Writing Prompt for February 3:

Write About Your Shadow

Yesterday was Ground Hog day. According to tradition,  if a  groundhog,  comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep and sees his shadow, it is six more weeks of bad weather; if it is a shadow-less day, spring is near.

We all have a shadow side, but most of us would prefer to keep it tucked away, out of sight. In honor of the groundhog, today is a day to write about your shadow, the side of yourself, you would prefer not to look at.

Give your shadow a name and write about it as if you were an outside observer.  What does your shadow look like? How often does he or she visit? How do friends, co-workers, or family members react to this personality? What would your life be like if this shadow had more of a voice?  Create a character sketch based on this shadow.
