Just Keep Writing: May 22, 2023 - Monday Musings

 Welcome to my scenic route! This is the last full week of May and I can hardly believe it's here. I'm actually working on a non-writing project that must be completed this week without fail. If it comes out as well as the layout looks, I'll be satisfied. Ready for the three word prompt? Here we go!

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. 

Hmm... I wonder what stories will be born out of these three words. I challenge you to create a clean story, even though the word 'scandal' leans toward something morally shocking to society. 

Thanks so much for taking some of your valuable time and spending it here on the scenic route. I hope you find it was time well spent. 

Also, please keep me and my family in your prayers this week. Once again, things will be changing up in the schedule as our youngest starts a new summer job which will mean I may not be able to work. With those changes, as well as the project I need to complete, I'd like to keep up a joyful mindset. Each of these changes present joyful milestones, so that seems like it would be proper. Maybe this time, the changes won't cause me too many hiccups in writing. 

Please do visit again tomorrow. I'll have a fresh word prompt to share with you. 

Until next time,
