Writing Prompt: Retreat

June 2 Writing Prompt: Retreat

There are times when it’s a good idea to take a break from someone or something and contemplate other options. Write about where you would go, how long you would stay, and what you would do (or not do) while you were away. How would you like life to be upon your return?

Writing Prompt: Possessions

By Janfishler Leave a Comment

The prompts for June are based on The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum. Runes were used by Vikings to point their attention towards hidden fears and motivations that could shape their future. When used as oracles, Runes can mirror our subconscious process and provide helpful insights. As writing prompts, Runes can direct our attention to such concepts as strength, fertility, and possessions. I hope you have fun with this and perhaps gain some insight that will help you develop your characters or improve the quality of your own life.

June 1 Writing Prompt: Possessions

What do you require for your well being? Possessions, better health, more love, improved communications with family and friends? Or perhaps you have enjoyed good fortune. Write about the possessions that make you appreciate your life and those you desire.

May 24 Writing Prompt:

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
~Sylvia Plath


Do you have the guts to stand by your convictions or are you filled with self-doubt? What topic are you afraid to write about? Go ahead and write about it.
