Promptitude: Super Moon Edition
In case you haven't heard, tonight we're having a super moon. There's all kinds of craziness going on around this phenomenon, but basically the earth's orbit is the closest its been to the moon in 18 years.
I'm a moon baby, born under the sign of Cancer, and I've always felt the ebb and flow of the moon. So the topic of a super moon inspires me. Thus, this week I offer several prompts for your consideration.
Most often I use prompts to inspire my fiction writing, or to ease me over a block. Not as often do I use them for personal writing, because, well, I never seem to have much problem getting words on the page in my journal.

And please remember, if you are having a hard time writing, I'd love to help. Check out my coaching page here, or the Get Your Writing in Gear page here (there's a couple more weeks left on the March Madness sale).

I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
