Just Keep Writing: October 23, 2023 - Monday Musings

 Welcome to the scenic route! I'm ready to blast through this final full week of October, even though I can't believe this month is almost done. I'm not ready for NaNoWriMo, but I'll give it my best shot. Are y'all ready for today's word prompt? Let's check it out. 

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 (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 is an interesting collection of random words. I wonder what everyone will come up with. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm happy you chose to spend a portion of your time with me on the scenic route. I apologize for the lack of a Friday post. I actually had most of it done, then had to leave my desk. So you'll get a bonus post later today or sometime tomorrow. 

I go back to work today, finally, after several weeks away. May God bless my boss for allowing me time with my mom and dad! Mom is getting stronger, though she's not yet back to her previous strength. But we're getting answers and still running tests and I know there's hope for her to thrive once again. Please continue to keep her and all our family in your prayers as we navigate new ways of doing things and find out more answers as they come. 

Tomorrow, I'll have another word prompt for you. I hope you'll visit again and bring a few more creative friends with you. 

Until next time,
