Just Keep Writing: December 22, 2023 - Friday Fascicles

 Welcome to the scenic route! If this isn't your first visit, you might remember my post about the next couple of Fridays being strictly word prompts. If you haven't been here before, just know that I usually give a little peek into what I'm working on and how my life has been over the past week. Every now and then, I'll share stories or snippets of stories. But today, it's just a word prompt. Y'all ready to create?

Just Keep Writing: Friday Fascicles

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. 

Now, if you've been here before, you'll notice the word 'so' in the middle. I usually try to remove those when they show up. I mean...'so'? Consider this a little extra challenge. What kind of new way could you use the word? 

I hope you're having fun with the word prompts. If you're enjoying these posts, please drop a comment below and let me know. 

I know Monday is Christmas Day, and I hope you'll be busy with fun and games and whatever it is you do to celebrate with family and friends. Don't forget to say a little prayer and maybe do something nice for those who are alone during this holiday season. It's amazing how a small gesture can make a huge impact. 

If you're not busy on Christmas Day, and you're looking for something to do, come on back to the blog. I'll have a word prompt ready for you. 

Until next time,

Also, Spartacus would like to tell you all to make sure your holiday is full of laughter and that you remember to breathe.
