Saturday Free For All #14

For today's Free For All, I leave you simply with these words:

Wasted Time

So, take it from there.

Random Prompt

Okay, I missed Tuesday's Theme yet again, so spank me. The kids have been monopolizing the computer so if I don't get it posted right away in the morning, I never get it posted. Okay, so the deal is, I'm going to post a random prompt to make up for missing Tuesday.

So, today's prompt is taken from my story, Gregory's Pen.

Create a character that finds a magickal object. What is it? How did he/she find it? What does it do? Does it come at a price? Does your character use it for good or evil?

So, yeah, that's my Random Prompt for this Thursday.

Have a great day!

Saturday Free For All #13

For today's prompt, I'm going to use a line from a Pink Floyd song:

You rearrange me till I'm sane.

Use this line in a poem, story, essay, or whatever, and leave your link here in the comments section. And please, leave a link to this post on your page.

Thanks!

Have a great weekend!

Jane

Tuesday's Theme #3

Yes, I realize it's Wednesday, but with the kids being home for the summer, I'm getting less and less computer time these days.

With the Summer Solstice coming up, I thought I would make

Summer

my theme for the week. Does this conjure images of swimming, family vacations, barbecues by the beach? Whatever summer means to you, put it into words, leave your link, and share your writing!

Have a great Wednesday!

Today's writing prompt is an image from my divination cards, The Faery Oracle.

This is The Faery Godmother.

I hope she brings you some inspiration this weekend.

Have a great Saturday!

Tuesday's Theme

Today the theme is:

Lives: Past lives, current lives, future lives, ideal lives, fantasy lives, whatever comes to your mind.

Happy Writing!

Tuesday's Theme #1

I am going to do something a little bit different today. Instead of giving you a theme, I'm going to offer a first line for a poem, story, essay, blog post, or whatever. Take the following line, and add your words to it:

The moon rose over the slumbering world...

I hope that this stirs your creativity a bit. I know it stirred mine!

Have a great Tuesday!

Jane

FYI

I changed my prompt from Mondays to Tuesdays. Saturday and Monday were just too close together.

Saturday Free For All #10

Today, for my prompt I am using words from my favorite poem by Emily Dickinson.

Because I could not stop for Death—
He kindly stopped for me—
The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
And Immortality.

We slowly drove—He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility—

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess—in the Ring—
We passed the fields of Gazing Grain—
We passed the Setting Sun—

Or rather—He passed Us—
The Dews drew quivering and chill—
For only Gossamer, my Gown—
My Tippet—only Tulle—

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground—
The Roof was scarcely visible—
The Cornice—in the Ground—

Since then—'tis Centuries—and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity—

The words I'm choosing for you to use in your poem, story, blog post, or essay are:

carriage, gossamer, swelling, eternity

I hope that these words inspire you!

Have a great weekend!

Random Prompt

Once again, I did not post Monday's Theme. I think I may switch it to Tuesday's or Wednesdays as Saturday and Monday are so close together. Anyway, here is a random prompt for you.

Frantic

Have a great Wednesday!

I started a new social network through Ning called, Writing From the Darkness. It is for those of us whose writing is mostly dark and tragic. If you'd like to join, you can find it here:

Saturday Free For All #9

I have had a very bad week, so I did not post a theme this Monday, and I apologize for that. But, I'm starting to feel a bit better so here I am.

Today I'm going to post some words to use in your piece:

flight
fancy
heads or tails

I hope you find some inspiration here!

Happy writing!

Saturday Free For All #8

Forgive me for not posting this yesterday but I spent the day in bed, depressed and in pain.

For today's prompt I decided to use another image from the Osho Zen Tarot cards.


Use the picture, or just the word Existence, or both, in your writing.

Happy writing!
