Just Keep Writing: January 9, 2923 - Monday Musings
Welcome back for another week of word prompts, book reviews, and writing in general. This week's word prompts a decorated with photos from Polina Chistayakova's gallery on Pexels.com. Stop in and check out the rest of Polina's beautiful work! (No one pays me to do these things, btw. I just think it's the right thing to do to list your source and give credit where it's due.) I can't wait to show you these beautiful photos so I'm going to go ahead.
Just Keep Writing: Monday Musings
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.

Don't forget to check out Polina's gallery. There are lots of lovely photos there which might inspire you. I know they have inspired me.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you found this prompt helpful. If you decide to visit tomorrow, I'll have another one ready for you.
Until next time,
