Just Keep Writing: January 5, 2023 - Thursday Threads
Howdy writers and creative folk! I've got another writing prompt ready to share with you. Don't forget to visit Eugene Golovesov's gallery at Pexels.com to see more awesome photography. Ready? Here ya go!
Just Keep Writing: Thursday Threads
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.

When I saw this photo, I had to use it. I'm not sure if this is a fir tree or not, but it reminded me of the fir trees we used to buy for Christmas years ago. They're my favorite for Christmas because the leaves aren't painful and the branches are just strong enough and short enough to hold the lights, garland, and ornaments neatly. They smell nice, too. Anyway, I really wanted to use it because...memories.
Tomorrow, I hope to have a nice, lengthy post to share with you. There may even be a short story at the end, though I make no promises. I'll have the last word prompt for the first week of 2023 there for you, though. Don't miss it!
Until next time,
