Just Keep Writing: August 31, 2023 - Thursday Threads

 Welcome to the scenic route! I hope your day is starting as beautifully as mine did. The temp went down to the mid-60's last night and we got to open up the windows this morning. There is seriously nothing as invigorating as fresh air, don't you think? I guess, unless you suffer from pollen allergy...then it might not be so great all the time. Whatever the case, I hope you're doing well today and feeling energized. Are you ready for today's creative prompt? Let's check it out!

Just Keep Writing: Thursday Threads

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 (i.e. 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. 

This collection of random words made me chuckle. I think they'd be fun to work with, don't you? Let me know what you think in the comments below. 

Thanks so much for joining me here on the scenic route today. I hope you found something useful here. Please visit again soon and bring your creative friends along. Tomorrow starts a new month and a new background for the prompts. I'll also let you know some of what's been going on in my life as an author and a sometimes funny, but always imperfect human being. You probably don't want to miss this one, as everyone needs a good laugh now and again. 

Until next time,
