About
The Daily Writing Prompt is a daily prompt to get the muses thinking about writing when they have started to slack off and might be thinking they have better things to do than help writers write.
A little bit about me.
My name is Sandra, and I live in Alaska where I am a full-time family caregiver and part time freelance writer. My passion is writing and I spend all of my time, even my leisure time, writing. I’m in my 30’s (no I won’t say where in them I am) and I have a pet Siamese cat named Harry Potter. I enjoy writing fantasy realism stories, but I tend to write a little bit of everything to make ends meet, including working as an Internet advertising copywriter.
I started The Daily Writing Prompt because I know how hard it can be to come up with something to get the muses to working some days and this is a way that I can help other writers prod their muses a little so that the things will keep talking to the end of the novel.
I’m not sure what else to add here, so feel free to ask me questions if you have any of them and I will answer you.
Happy writing!
Sandra

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.
