Unusual Space 2
Hello friends!
How is the creativity going this month?
What are you working on?
This month's visual posts are about space and interactions with aliens. I have been missing sci-fi writing as I have been delving further into horror. I’m editing a few of my microfiction sci-fi pieces this month and generating so many more through Story A Day May.
Are you doing any fun writing challenges?
Keep your mind open to create unlimited possibilities to write short pieces or longer stories if you prefer.
When using these prompts, allow yourself to explore these photos in your mind. Three random words will be listed below the photos to challenge yourself further.
I hope you enjoy this free writing time.
Set your timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, and write without stopping. You can handwrite or type it on a computer if it feels good.
Go…

If you need more of a challenge, here are three bonus words to include in your story: cast, recommend, tidy
Are you stuck, or is nothing coming to mind?
Here are some starts for you to try:
On our planet, there is no…
When our party landed, we realized the maps were wrong…
So, what do we do now, Frank…
I hope you have been able to get started with a story today.

Origin Stories
This month's visual posts are about origin stories. I have been thinking a lot about my origin story and the characters I write about. For this week in March, I have given you two options: Persephone and Eostre, the goddesses of spring. Today, I challenge you to come up with origin stories for one or both of these goddesses you don’t have to know what the internet says about them. Allow your own mind to come up with unlimited possibilities. After you have finished writing, then you can look them up if you wish.
When using these prompts, allow yourself to explore these photos in your mind. Three random words will be listed below the photos included.
I hope you enjoy this free writing time.
Set your timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, and write without stopping. If it feels good, you can handwrite or type it on a computer.

Flourishing Daily 2
This month's visual posts are themed Flourishing Daily. It's still January. Welcome to day 3544, but luckily, it is the eve before the end of the month. Perhaps this month seems so long because everything is brown where I live, but thankfully, we have been seeing the sun for the last few days, and it has been excellent. Is January long for everyone in the world? These visual posts come from my ideas within the world of AI art. These images are inspired by my word of the year flourish. I have been thinking about transforming, hope, and my future. I find the part that is most exciting and sometimes scary is the journey to our dreams.
When using these prompts, allow yourself to explore these photos in your mind. Three random words will be listed below the photos included.
I hope you enjoy this free writing time.
Set your timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, and write without stopping. You can handwrite or type it on a computer if that feels better.

Flourishing Daily
This month's visual posts are themed Flourishing Daily. January is a time when I need to be reminded of new growth in the deep winter months.

Visual Prompt - Abandon Places (Week Two)
This month's visual posts are themed Abandon Places. June is when it starts to heat up, and all those long summer nights begin. I have been thinking a lot about the things I have left behind in my life, whether it was relationships, homes, or objects. Perhaps we have abandoned the things we once were to become a new creation. I have also been influenced this month by a show on Max called Mysteries of the Abandon. This show has been pretty amazing, going through various abandoned things all over the world and giving a bit of their history as well as why they were abandoned. When using these prompts, allow yourself to go explore these abandoned photos in your mind. I hope you enjoy this free writing time.
