Just Keep Writing: July 13, 2023 - Thursday Threads

 Welcome to the scenic route! The sun is shining. Clouds are rolling in. And the heat index keeps climbing. Does that mean I have to grumble? No. I'm doing my best to hold onto my joy. What about you? 

I've got that word prompt ready for the creative souls who need a little jump start. Let's check it out!


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:

  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 (i.e. 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. 


What do you think? Can you work with these? I hope so. 


Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope the post was useful. If so, let me know in the comments below. Don't forget to invite your creative friends to join us on the scenic route. 

Tomorrow, I'll be sharing how my Camp Nano project is progressing and another word prompt. Life's been settling down to something resembling a pseudo schedule. I might talk a little about that, too.

Until next time,
Turn the page...
