Olivia Rodrigo (inspired these writing prompts!)

Where were you when you became obsessed with Olivia Rodrigo's first album?

I was reading this interview with Olivia Rodrigo recently and I was struck by this quote: “A song is so not good if I can tell it’s coming from a disingenuous place. It’s like a little lie-detector test, a polygraph.” It got me thinking of putting all of my writing through a polygraph. We KNOW when we’re being untrue in our writing, but sometimes we don’t want to see it because it’s hard to be vulnerable and honest. After you do today’s writing prompts (one of them, some of them, or all of them) read back what you wrote and ask yourself, “Is this true?”

Okay, let’s write.

Today’s prompts were inspired by Olivia Rodrigo songs...
