Issue 45: Imagination with Flannery O'Connor

Each week, we deliver a prompt to help you develop one of your primal powers.

This week's power is Imagination.

 

Curious which primal power can help you the most? Take our diagnostic.

This sentence opens Flannery O'Connor's short story, A Good Man Is Hard To Find.

 

Your prompt is to imagine two more sentences: one that comes right before and one that comes directly after O'Connor's.  

 

One sentence to lead us to the grandmother not wanting to go to Florida and one that carries us further into a story. 

 

The goal isn't to guess what O'Connor might have written, but to imagine the start of a something new. 

 

If what you imagine excites or surprises you, click below. We'll share reader examples in April's Imagination issue. 

It sharpens your imagination, which is your brain's ability to invent new plans, to

improvise effectively and to create strategy

 

Developing imagination can boost innovation, resilience, decision-making, and leadership.
