During the many years that I led creative writing workshops, I noticed something interesting about the thing invited deep writing. Some writing prompts–often involving words or newspaper headlines–kept people entrenched in analytical thinking and… their subsequent writing was heady and dry.  Their writing might have been slick and witty, but it was rarely deep or…
