Just Keep Writing: November 1, 2022 - Tuesday Tracts

 I know this post is late, but I had to share a couple of things with you. First, I took a day for self-care and gave myself some time to just mourn and heal from the loss of Dusk. While one day won't mean the pain will just go away, it did allow me to just breathe and mourn without having to worry about what wasn't getting done while I did so. That in itself was such a help. So there was no post yesterday. 

Getting back into the schedule today was daunting. I now need to add time for the second thing I wanted to share with you. It's Nano time again. I have to add the new writing project to my already full schedule, as well as continuing to work on the lesson on prayer I will be teaching at a women's conference on Saturday. (I haven't really touched either of those writing projects yet today. *sigh*)

But I did want to share today's writing prompt because I will be using them to craft a collection of short tales. How that'll come out...who knows? 

Just Keep Writing: Tuesday Tracts - NaNoWriMo Edition 

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:

  1. 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.  
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.

It's NaNoWriMo Time! 

I'm participating in Nano again this year. These word prompts will come in handing I think. I just wanted to share my flair and announce my project.


On Friday, I'll share the cover art I created for this collection of stories. I'll also keep the word prompts coming this week. I'm still not going to post on Saturdays or Sundays, though. Those days are for things other than writing. Makes my challenge more of a challenge, eh? 

Until next time...
