Don’t Write Alone | Free Write

Setting and Dialogue Exercise

Explore your scene writing or begin a flash fiction piece with this prompt from Catapult instructor Christine Sneed.

Write a scene that takes place in a grocery store. You can list items on the shelves, in the produce section, in the bakery, and have your character decide to buy (or not to buy) an item they really want. Or you might write a scene where your character overhears two people having a conversation about something they’re trying to decide to buy—it’s up to you. Use strong sensory details—smell, taste, texture, etc.
