Are you looking for something to write about? Try writing a list poem of the jobs you’ve had over your lifetime and see what happens.
In a recent conversation with a friend, I explained how I bought one house in a short sale and then used a 1031 Exchange to find a house in a better neighborhood. Over the evening my past as a forklift driver and a Licensed Massage Therapist came up. She knew me as a fashion model. She laughed, “I’d like to see a list of all the jobs you’ve had.”

A poem? Well, not really, but a dredger of stories for sure. Just writing the list brought back all kinds of memories, and all sorts of possibilities. Give it a try!
WRITING PROMPT 1: Write a list of all the jobs you’ve had in your lifetime.
WRITING PROMPT 2: Pick one (or two) of them and keep on writing.
