Just Keep Writing: April 11, 2023 - Tuesday Tracts

 Welcome to the scenic route! As I type up this post, I'm on a mini-vacation with my husband to celebrate our 29 years of marriage. It's not been easy, but it has definitely been worth all the nail-biting, neck-jarring, breath-stealing, heart-racing roller coaster ride it has been. I've learned so much over the years, about marriage in general and about myself. Looking back, I can see growth in both of us and that's encouraging. I look forward to the journey with him for many years to come. 

Now, I know you've come for a writing prompt, so here ya go!


Just Keep Writing: Tuesday Tracts

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. 


 


I hope you found today's prompt useful. I can see a few snippets of story in my head from them. Maybe they'll be the start of a great thing for us, eh?

Tomorrow, I'll have a couple of book reviews to share with you. I hope you'll come back to check them out, as well as the writing prompt. 

Until next time,
Turn the page...
