The Daily Writing Prompt

Daily Writing Prompt on Hold

14
June 2010

I have got to a point where I need to streamline my daily activity, so, I have to place the Daily Writing Prompt on hold. I know that no matter how hard I try to get it moving again right now, I just do not have the time I would have to dedicate to maintaining it, so – I am going to place it on hold for a little while and will pick it back up when things slow back down.

Life: What stopped your dreams?

11
June 2010

Writing has been a dream of mine since I was in my teens, then life got in the way. I wanted to write, I really did, but… I don’t know. Every time I got things going and thought “this is my time”, something would get in the way.

So, today’s prompt is to sit down and write out what got in the way of your writing, or any other dreams you might have had. Who knows, you might just find that in writing about it you can get things sorted out and find a way to get back on track with your dreams.

That’s what I did, and why I am back here trying yet again to keep myself going as a writer.

Writing Prompt: Bunny Rabbits

April 2010

Tomorrow is Easter – so, write something about Bunny Rabbits… perhaps how they are connected to Easter?

Writing Prompt: Fools Day Aftermath

2
April 2010

Today is April 2nd, so it seems only natural to me that a good prompt would be to write about the aftermath of April Fools Day. Perhaps a joke gone bad (or right), maybe someone that was subjected to one prank after another all day and their gratitude to see the 2nd arrive? What about a trickster god? What is it like for them to end April Fools day and go to April 2nd?

Daily Writing Prompt: April Fools

1
April 2010

One thing lead to another and the month of March just – vanished. One second it was there, the next… I’m looking at April. All that happened during March to side track me aside, I want to get back to getting the daily entries here, so let’s kick this off with something appropriate for April 1st, shall we?

Write out a scene in which one character plays an April Fools day joke on another character (or characters). This is a no stress, just for fun, prompt.


Disclaimer:I would like to say that the muses work for free around here, but unfortunately there are some things that the Equal Rights for Muses Society (ERMS) has informed me of. They issued a rather lengthy document on fancy parchment written out by the muse scribes of their lawyers, but it basically said that the muses can not afford my prolificness. They say if I am going to write so much and make them work so hard, then they want me to provide support for their poor children. (Do you have any idea how many kids a wild jackalope muse has? ::faints::) I can't afford to support all of those little Jackalopes, so, I have chosen to place advertising on my sites. I try to keep it unobtrusive and I try to make sure it is about things that you want to find out about when I post the things into the journal/blog/newsletter entries, but, bottom line is, the muses have my hands tied. They won't let me write if they are not paid. I don't know who's idea it was to tell them about unions, but the suckers got good lawyers now. And that is why I have advertising on my websites and blogs.

Okay, so in reality, it is a simple mathematical equation of me needing to live and being unable to get work outside the home. You see, while the Daily Writing Prompt is a labor of love by a writer that can never get enough of writing, it is also by a writer that is a full-time family caregiver. Being a family caregiver is the highest stress unpaid job in the world, and for that reason there are advertisements on this site. There may even be advertisements in some of the postings, it is a necessary step to allow me to continue bringing you the daily prompts and the other writer related things I have for free and lets me buy food and clothing and pay bills and pay for my webhosting and other necessary things. Thank you for your understanding.
