POLIprompt #1 — When I Met Politics
Welcome to our very first POLIprompt
Welcome to our first POLIprompt!
To participate:
- Request to be a writer/editor for Politically Speaking (or post your response in another pub or on your wall if you choose.)
- LINK this post at the bottom of your entry.
- TAG it POLIprompt (so that it will collate into the POLIprompt tab on Politically Speaking)
I am not sure when I became fully aware of political goings on but I have a very clear memory of a certain event when I was young. I’d like to write about that so I thought this would be a great first prompt.
Think back to the youngest age you can remember some kind of political event or a trip to a government building, a political rally or a protest. As children we view things so much differently, perhaps with a very limited understanding of what is happening.
Write about your experience, your memory of that day / event. Make it personal. Tell us the impact this had on you. If you think the event will not be widely recognized you can describe it or leave a link for readers to follow. But take us there with you in that moment when politics became a part of your world.
We’ll call this one “When I Met Politics.”
If you choose to write fiction you may tag it under the Perspectives tag and put FICTION above your title or otherwise make it clear in your post. (There wasn’t enough room in the tabs on this pub for me to make a fiction tab, but fiction is welcome here.)
I look forward to your entries. A few will be featured in the first Letter.
