WRITING PROMPTS to help you explore today’s topic:

1. Write a journal entry about the last time something scared you.

2. Write a few paragraphs about where you think fear comes from and how it's possible to overcome one's fears. Write as if you are giving someone advice to follow. Or like you're giving a TED talk.

3. Rewrite a scene from a horror film or book and try to make it scarier.

4. Write a fictional scene in which a character encounters your greatest fear, and then overcomes that fear.
