Just Keep Writing: August 8, 2023 - Tuesday Tracts & #AboutTheAuthorAugust Challenge

 Welcome to the scenic route! I hope y'all are staying cool during this crazy weather. We're doing our best to do so in my neck of the woods. Are you ready to create something fun and awesome? I've got a fresh word prompt ready to share with you. And if you'd like to know a little more about me and my writing, keep on reading for the next part of the #abouttheauthoraugust writing challenge. 

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 (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. 

Well, now. Here's a crazy list of words. Have fun with them! I would if I had time to write today. My schedule is packed, though. Instead of spring cleaning, I'm summer cleaning and it's taking almost all my time and definitely all of my energy. 

Writing Challenge: #abouttheauthoraugust 2023 - Day 2

Three facts about your work-in-progress:

1. It is both a joy and a frustration to keep working on Surge. 
2. Progress is being made, at least.
3. I am still in love with my stories and the world I've created for this series.

I'm keeping it simple today as I have to get to the tasks which aren't located at my desk. I might go into more detail on this portion of the challenge Friday. It's related, after all. 

Thank you so much for spending some time on the scenic route today with me. I appreciate your support and encouragement. Was your visit helpful or enjoyable? Let me know in the comments below. I hope you'll visit again tomorrow and invite your creative friends to join us. 

Until next time,
