Just Keep Writing: November 21, 2022 - Monday Musings

 Welcome back fellow writers! It's Thanksgiving week here in the US and I'm so looking forward to spending time with our family. Coming together to enjoy a meal and just fellowship with each other really makes my day. I guess that's why this is my favorite holiday. 

Having said that, all this week's posts (except for portions of the Friday post) have been prepped in advance. I want to focus as much time on my family as possible this week. 

So let me serve up the first course of writing prompts for this week. 

Just Keep Writing: Monday Musings

If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.

Rules:

1. You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.  
2. Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to. 
3. Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.

Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required.

It's a joy to have you here and be able to create awesome new things with you. I hope you found something inspiring and helpful in the post today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for another fun word prompt!
