OUr Three Minutes
OUR THREE MINUTES was one of the first major additions to Cherry Blue. The prompt involves looking in someone’s eyes for three minutes without speaking and then writing for ten. It facilitates somewhat scarily deep thinking, writing, and connection between it’s participants. The generational cliché of halfhearted connection is lost in this exercise. It is a act of bravery, and a crucial part of building trust and authenticity within the community of Cherry Blue.
and our prompts
Every Cherry Blue issue includes one writing prompt, at minimum. It was important to our founder to ensure that the printed publication wasn’t the end of something, a book that you close and put down never to be picked up again. It had to also be the birth of something, of a new idea, a new piece, a new conversation.
