'PROMPT- Go! Word Pattern Prompts' by J F King

Life Sentence

Your lead character consults a coach who speaks only in aphorisms (or are they clichés?):

e.g., ‘You only come this way once, go for it, pulling punches…’

Is this irritating or helpful in addressing the situation presented?

The Inscription

Look at an inscription on a memorial bench: 

e.g., ‘..Who spent many happy hours enjoying this view…’

Who placed the plaque? Why? Is it really true? Would you re-word the plaque?

Litotes

Create a day in conversation from a character who (over) uses litotes in their speech pattern:

e.g., ‘I shan’t be sorry, it is not without merit, the day was not unenjoyable...’

Does the day change? Does the speech pattern change?
