Tip of the Day

Have you heard of artist dates? Basically, it’s a way of refreshing the creative part of your soul. Take an hour or two each week, by yourself, to do something that will fill your creative soul. That may be reading a book, taking a walk, looking at flowers and wildlife, painting, sculpting, cooking, or any number of other creative or relaxing endeavors.

Taking such time to feed your soul can unloose creativity in many areas. Give it a try!

The Prompt

What are all these people doing? Who are they? Where are they and why?

You can write about them, or you can write about the people who discovered this piece, perhaps archaelogists, relic hunters, or a construction worker preparing a construction site for building.

For some people, it helps to brainstorm, to right a rough outline before starting to write even flash fiction. Some need a fairly detailed outline. Others write with no idea at all – they just write by the seat of their pants.

Tip of the Day

I’m very tactile-sensitive. A too-stiff keyboard can slow me down as well as frustrate me to the point of not wanting to write too much. Same thing for a too-stiff pen. Give me a smooth keyboard that flows, and my writing flows better, too.

What about you? Do you notice such things? Do they slow you down? Would switching to a different keyboard or pen or paper type or background colour on the monitor help you write more efficiently?

The Prompt

What images does this picture conjure up in your mind? What adventures does it present to you?
