The Daily Writing Prompt

Note: Advertising is how the muses get paid.

Writing Prompt: Trashed

16
February 2010

I was telling my writing buddy that I was trying to catch up with my writing prompts so she offered up a suggestion for me:

“Writing Prompt: what’s the oddest thing you ever found in the trash and where did it come from, according to the muses?”

Writing Prompt: Dark Stranger

15
February 2010

This picture was taken by a lady that shared it on SXC, and I have all kinds of muses that are coming up with explanations for this picture.

Who is it, are they supposed to be on the balcony or an intruder? Is it some kind of ghost or dark entity that has come into the world from another dimension?

Let your muses study the picture for a few minutes, then start writing on whatever they come up with to explain it.

Happy Valentine’s Day

victorian-womanWishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day, whether you are in a relationship and looking forward to an evening of romance, or are one of many singles this year that will be taking advantage of a day made for self indulgence and pampering yourself like you never take the time for throughout the rest of the year.

Today is the day when all of us singles should take a few hours to indulge our desire to be pampered. To give ourselves an excuse to relax and not stress. To soak in a hot tub with candles and aromatherapy. Prepare our favorite meal and put on a movie that we adore.

This is the day when we might treat ourselves to a new soft bathrobe or comfortable pajamas. Indulge in a home perm. Maybe have a girls night out with friends that will end in a slumber party and a night of games and pampering reminiscent of our teen years.

Timed Writing: Love

February 2010

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Set your timer and spend fifteen minutes writing whatever comes to mind on the subject of “love”.

Character Development

12
February 2010

Do a bit of character development by contemplating what your character would think if they were to receive an anonymous Valentine’s Day card. Who would they think sent it? Why would they think it was that person? Would they have sent it to themselves to make someone else notice?


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.
