Happy December and welcome back to Friday Fire! Today’s prompt challenges you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. It forces you to explore a perspective that you might not otherwise have considered, and build a scene that is fully realized rather than one-sided.
Think back to the last argument or conflict you had with another person.
Now write the scene…with one caveat!
Write about the disagreement from the other person’s point of view.
Be convincing!
Did you find it difficult to see the argument from the other person’s perspective? Did you find yourself sliding back into your own understanding of the conflict, or did you discover things weren’t as black and white as you originally assumed? Let us know what this prompt unearthed for you!
A great writing prompt and a useful "thought" practice for real life as well!
