Lies, Half-truths, and Truths

With a group:

A. Give each person three slips of paper.  Each person should write on the slips of paper the following:
1. one lie
2. one half-truth
3. one truth

B. Mix all the folded slips of paper in a bowl and let people pull three from the bowl. If you pull your own, place it back in the bowl. Writers should use one or all three of the statements (or the ideas the statement inspire) in their writing.

For one person:

A. Create the bowl of statements by following the instructions above but write six for each of the lies, half-truths, and truths. You may want to do this on one day and then use the prompts at a later date when you have forgotten all the statements you wrote for the bowl.

B. Pull three and use them as writing prompts for your writing this day.

OR use the below lies, half-truths, and truths written by me and my friends Michael, Vicky, Normandi, Alaina, Rhea, and Carol as prompts:
