AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! August is here. In case you hadn't noticed yet . . . It has definitely arrived. So, I'm in a bit of a slump and stressed as all get out, trying to get ready to get out of my parents' house in less than a month and sail away to college . . .

August 29 - Write the word "remember" three times. Then write whatever the word brings to mind.
August 30 - Write a character you know nothing about. If you grew up in the big city, write as a farm hand. If you grew up on a farm or small town all your life, write about an army brat who was raised living in dozens of towns, going to different schools each year. Are you a stay-at-home, married mom? Write as a single woman making it big in the big apple. If you’re a successful businessman, write as a prison inmate who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.
August 31 - Write a poem that evokes the sensations of one or more of the five senses without using nouns or verbs that are directly related to the senses themselves.
