You're like, here's a whole slew more.

Yeah.

So for each theme, I have another few writing prompts.

So I have 77 writing prompts, but also the book, it's different than a lot of craft books because it's multi-genre, but it's divided not in genre, but by theme.

And so my sort of philosophy is that if you're a new writer or even if you're an old writer and you are wanting to write a memoir or something, well, sometimes you're writing a memoir, but then there's this image that's haunting you and all you need is to work on that image.

And you're like, well, this might be a poem, right? Or maybe you're working on a memoir and then you get to the point where you're like, wow, I want to publish this, but my mother will disown me.

And so maybe at that point you're like, well, maybe this needs to turn into a novel.

And I would just love for you to read from this chapter.

So what did it ask of you as a writer?

Yeah, that book is, as you said, it's about sort of the most difficult things that we go through, right? There's a lot of loss.

So loss of people, loss of friendships, loss of a marriage, loss of a dog, right? And in order to write that book, it took a long time.

And I had to really listen to what the book wanted to be.

I had at first it set up as a memoir, right? And then that wasn't working.

And so I realized it needed to be individual essays.

And then I had it set up sort of in the five stages of grief, sort of ironically, right? Because grief doesn't work that way at all.

I asked, and it's completely optional, but would you be willing to bring a writing prompt for listeners from the spirit of 52 Writing Prompts or from the book itself?
