On writing everyday

I'm currently reading Bird by Bird by Annie Lamott and she gives the advice to write small pieces at least once a day. It could be the tiniest thing, like a crisp August morning or the pond on the side of the neighborhood park. These small details are what makes a story interesting. In the same manner, these small exercises keep thing going in the creative mind. By limiting your daily writing piece, you actually feel less confined when you sit down and think, "What the hell should I write?" while the time ticks away and you bite your lip until it's raw. I thought I could give these prompts a try. This is an exercise to experiment with writing and simply get something down.
