Friday Freewriting – July 30, 2021 – Megan

I won’t say either way whether this story reflects my opinions about politics or politicians. It’s the idea that first started gelling in my brain-space when we got our prompts. Sometimes the hard thing about these prompts is that no one idea really sticks out to me, and I end up with a mushy mash of ideas that only kind of work. Since we try hard to stick to the time limit, there’s really no chance to extract an idea if it doesn’t reveal itself immediately. At least, that’s how it generally works for me. Robert might think differently! Anyway, enjoy this saga about a politician and his lute. If you join in this exercise, please let us know! We’d love to read your stories and know what you think of the exercise.
