Just Keep Writing: November 7, 2022 - Monday Musings
Welcome back! I have another three word prompt for you today. I'm going to get right to it because once again, I'm running a bit behind schedule.
Just Keep Writing: Monday Musings
Before I get into the prompt, I wanted to let you know my Nano goal is to write thirty short stories, one for each day of November. So I have words for Saturdays, even though I don't write on Saturdays. I also have Sundays taken care of, but I probably won't post the Sunday prompts as photo prompts. What I will do is share the words today and then again in Friday's post so y'all can have them in advance. I'm sorry I sometimes fight with slowbrain. I just don't think as fast when I have so many tasks clamoring for my attention.
Saturday's words: Energy, Abuse, Make
Sunday's words: Habit, Area, Witch
If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.
Rules:
- You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.
- Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to.
- Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.
Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required.

This week, instead of highlighting a specific photographer all week, I'm highlighting a color -- blue. The photos that popped up on the Pexels.com home page just really called to my imagination. It also helps me save some time in getting the posts prepped.
So take a moment and stop by Bekir's gallery on Pexels.com and check it out if you like this photo.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope you find something useful here.
Happy creating!
