<p>The prompts for my writing supplements are worrying me. They are just so hard to answer without being cliche. I know the goal of this is to test my creativity, and to see whether I can write something completely unexpected from something so overused. The thing is, I don’t seem to be going anywhere.</p>
<p>The prompts are like “Why honesty is important”. Not exactly, but you get the point. Any advice?</p>
<p>I don’t know why you don’t share the actual prompt. But in the case you show, you might include a story that illustrates your point, and that story can do double duty by showing a glimpse of you and allow you to be analytical with regard to how honesty was important in that context. </p>
<p>Ug for sappy prompts like that.</p>
<p>It is hard to give you advice with out knowing the prompts. If the prompts are hard for you to answer they will take a little extra work and thinking. It is hard for any one on CC to give you advice on what to write about since we don’t know you well so if I where you I would talk to someone like your college counselor for advice.</p>
