Now, but in past tense

This is as close to a fiction prompt as it's gonna get around here, but there's a method to my proverbial madness

Just as an exercise, write about an event going on in your life right now, but write about it in past tense, like an essay you would write about it after the event has concluded. Write about how it shook out, what you learned from it, and perhaps even what happened as a result of it.

Indeed, this is not a place for fiction prompts, but it is a place, through writing, to try to hack our brains a bit and try to show up in new and more profound ways as writers and people, so humor me. You just might get yourself excited about a possibility you hadn’t considered.
