That’s all Folks

I’m finally admitting that I’m finished dreaming up writing prompts. I’ve been doing it for almost 30 years. There are thousands of them here on this blog. I’ll leave the blog up, but won’t be creating new prompts.

I want to thank everyone for coming here to write, or just to read. I’ve loved watching all of you write over the years. Some who came were outstanding writers before they arrived, some have shown tremendous growth over the years. It’s been a pleasure to read every single one of your offerings.

Thanks for going on this journey with me.

An Announcement

Although this blog has several thousand subscribers, the number of people who come by to write something has dwindled. For that reason I’m going to change my publishing schedule. There will be a new writing prompt on Monday only.

There are almost 3000 writing prompts on this blog, so if you’re looking for an idea to get you started, there are plenty of them. Just look around.

Where I Write

This is where I write. It’s awfully crowded in here right now. Too much furniture, but some will move out soon. But I don’t mind because I sit in my chair and type all day long and never look at the room around me. I’m in another world. Where do you write?

Please use the open space below to share your first 50 words on the topic “where I write” or on some topic suggested by the photo.

The First Thing

I seem to miss a day now and then posting on the blog lately. I don’t mean to. Maybe it’s the political situation, or maybe it’s me recovering from 2 surgeries in quick succession, but this blog isn’t the first thing on my mind some days. If, by some horrible omission, I do miss a day, please feel free to dig into the archives. Writing prompts are everywhere.

Take Your Time

It’s okay to take your time on that New Year’s Resolution to write more often. Just 50 words a day can keep you going. I’ll be away from the blog for a few days. I hope you’ll take your time exploring past prompts to find one tickle your creativity while I’m away.

Please use the open space below to share your first 50 words on the topic “take your time.”

Carry On

I’ll be away for a week or maybe more getting myself a new knee. Carry on in my absence by exploring the archives and finding yourself a topic (there are over 2500 writing prompts to choose from here) and keep writing. Just write!

Please use the open space below to share your first 50 words on the topic “carry on.”
