As I mentioned earlier in the week, I've started a daily writing prompt blog on Tumblr. However, one of my wonderful readers pointed out that it was impossible to get those posts emailed from Tumblr. So I had a brainstorm: why not do a weekly round-up post of the prompts? And so, here […]
The blank page, awaiting your stellar words. I'm not sure how inventive these ways are, but Inventive Writing Prompts is the name of my new Tumblr blog and I wanted to tie it in. Clever, huh? And yes, I now have a Tumblr blog. I'm really not cool enough to have a Tumblr blog, because […]
I've been writing a lot recently. (On my own projects, I mean. It's one of the ironies of my life that I'm always able to write for clients, no matter what.) And, as always, the more I write, the more I'm able to write. Pour it all out on the page and more keeps coming. […]
If you're a regular visitor to this blog, you've probably noticed a new tab here. It is called Punch for Prompt, and it's basically a place where you can punch a purple bar and get yourself a prompt. And then another. And then another. A nearly endless supply of them, to be exact. You can […]
It's been awhile since I've given you a prompt in my ongoing Promptitude series, and earlier this weekend I had a brainstorm. (That said brainstorm was on Saturday morning and i'ts now Sunday evening and I'm finally getting around to posting gives you some idea of how busy this weekend has been.) So here's the […]
I have one prompt for you today. One. Based on what I saw outside my window this morning: A light in the fog. Go write. PS. Long-time readers will notice a wee bit of rearranging going on here. I've just joined the BlogHer Publishing Network, which I expect will bring me, and hence you, all […]
The prompts I write and use are most often written about people doing something, or a person saying something, or something happening. Like: And then there was an explosion. She opened the door. "Oh no," he said. Like that. I like prompts of that nature, because even though they are specific, they are also open-ended. […]
Yes, I know its Sunday, and Promptitude usually runs on Saturday. I actually wrote this post yesterday, but between free coaching sessions and a baby shower for my daughter, I never had time to put it up. So here, you go, a day late, but just as relevant. My son is now home, thank you […]
So, we teaching and coaching types love to give advice (except that the true essence of coaching is not so much giving advice as pulling what you yourself already know to be so out of yourself). I, for instance, love to tell people to do Morning Pages. (If you don't know what Morning Pages are, […]
Alas, I have been alarmingly somewhat remiss in my project of providing you with prompts. But seeing as how I'll be on a plane to Orlando tomorrow (for the Suzanne Evans 10K Coaching Club business intensive) I thought I might extract some summer vacation type prompts from my fertile brain. Even though I'll be working, […]
