Writing Prompts:
- a) Imagine that your unborn self is reluctant to come into the world. Write a letter to convince yourself to be born.
- b) Write a letter to your favourite team of superheroes. Sell them on why you should be the newest member of the team.
- c) You are your childhood imaginary friend. Write a letter to yourself explaining why you can no longer be (imaginary) friends with young you.
