Just Keep Writing: September 7, 2023 - Thursday Threads

 Welcome to the scenic route! How are you this fine day? The sun is shining this morning but I'm thanking God for it and for the rain we got last night after the sun went down. I know it wasn't enough to make up the deficit, but every drop is precious right now. Also, please keep those in the paths of the tropical storms and hurricanes in your prayers. It's been a rough year for many people. 

Ok. Are you ready for today's prompt? Let's create something awesome!


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. 


This could be fun. Certainly, it'll be a challenge. What do you think?


Thanks so much for spending a bit of your time on the scenic route today. I hope you found it helpful and encouraging. Let me know in the comments below. I hope you'll visit again and bring your creative friends with you. Tomorrow, I'll have a good bit to share with you, including another prompt and a chapter of Surge.

Until next time,
Turn the page...
