Consider “The House That Built Me”
One of the most common writing themes is to explore our roots: the people and places and events that shaped our lives.
There are many different ways we can explore our past in writing but today I want you to consider this simple prompt inspired by Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me.” Write about the house that built you. You can explore the events that led to the construction of the house, the memorable events that took place in that house, or take one last walk through, if only in your memory, to uncover some unexpected truths and stories.
