There are many things that people consider alluring. There are people whom other people deem alluring. What pulls you in? The word, through time, has not changed much, but many see the word and think something more... ...romantic... ...erotic... Luckily or, as some would say, sadly, I don't do that kind of content. So, what… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Allure

Writing Prompt: The Hoarder
https://media.giphy.com/media/iFU36VwXUd2O43gdcr/giphy.gif I have a confession. I watch the hoarders show on A&E. I can't help myself. It's a morbid curiosity. I cringe when they reveal the homes, and then I start feeling for the families of the hoarders. Then there are the hoarders. Many of them have the same fear. Loss. They suffered a major… Continue reading Writing Prompt: The Hoarder
Writing Prompt: Blatant
https://media.giphy.com/media/xT5LMRMUMVHdk5oLHa/giphy.gif I didn't do yesterday's prompt because I am trying to not have any overtly political posts on this blog. Yesterday's prompt was "Marx". Nope, I am NOT going there, ever, on here. So... ...Blatant... Blatant, overt, in your face. Without cloaks or smoke and mirrors. Everything laid bare for all to see. That is… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Blatant
Writing Prompt: Control
We all have lessons we learn as we traverse through the stages of our lives. We all have ambitions, dreams, and aspirations. We all work toward them. We all stumble. We all fall. We sometimes look to others when we fail, not for help but for blame. We cannot control the actions of others. We… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Control
Writing Prompt: Twirl
As a self-published author, I can not tell you the number of times I have stared at my own novel and my brain drew a blank. I mean, you should know how your own story goes, right? You SHOULD know the plot, how the characters are going to react, and where you should go from… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Twirl
Writing Prompt: The Blurb
Another day, another time to wonder how they come up with these prompts. I know what a "blurb" is, but I am sitting here staring at it and getting nothing. I even took a break and came back. Nothing. I am still staring at it though. Little short quips of things you're selling. What it's… Continue reading Writing Prompt: The Blurb
Writing Prompt: Unharmed
https://media.giphy.com/media/YQAJ0uJ1u55imESTde/giphy.gif This prompt list has surprised me, left me wordless, and evoked emotion. It's funny how simple words can do that to a person, and this one is no different. Unharmed, pristine, whole. The mere concept evokes thoughts and emotions in me. So, I will put those here. https://media.giphy.com/media/elhHndVfpU1621gcEJ/giphy.gif Unharmed Unharmed is the glass still… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Unharmed
Writing Prompt: Reveal
https://media.giphy.com/media/xT5P0z1uWDceDQFjWg/giphy.gif Yesterday was cluster headache day! YAY me! Don't you just LOVE it when you wake up with a headache you can't get rid of no matter what you do? Yeah, that was me yesterday. There are many types of reveals. There are gender reveals, coming out of the closet reveals, and many others. The… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Reveal
Writing Prompt: Eel
https://media.giphy.com/media/3oz8xTUmZABI3PGwDe/giphy.gif Welp, this is a thing. I know what an eel is, but... um... Prompt? I am staring at the word and my mind is not coming up with anything. My husband, however, came up with a whole intro to a story. This is why I love him. So, having had my imagination jump-started, here… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Eel
Writing Prompt: One of Them
https://media.giphy.com/media/l41m6va6AUuzC9Sko/giphy.gif Yup, I know. I have not been around for two days. I was nursing back pain that kept me in bed most of the time. It was one of those pains that made it impossible to stand, sit, and even lie down in many positions. I am better now. I am moving better. So,… Continue reading Writing Prompt: One of Them
