Do you remember your first day of school? Or the last? Firsts and lasts often hold real significance, and in story they can provide real weight. Sometimes we forget to notice those moments, or we don’t realise their significance until later. This week in your daily prompts we’ll make use of ‘firsts and lasts’. Pay attention to the detail. You might find yourself remembering something true, or inventing. A character might invite you into a memory. Let the scene lead you! As always, feel free to change ‘he’ to ‘her’ or ‘you’ to ‘me’.

Your prompt for today is:

The first dinner in a new house

The last time I saw him…..

Write the first time of hearing a song…

Write the memory of a first meeting

Last embrace

Leaving home

Write the first, or the final, argument
