Friday Drop
The weekly Sun Lantern post. The haiku box is packed, prompt spot, announcements and resources! All creatives are welcome!
Write like hell.
Welcome!
Are people still doing New Year’s resolutions or has that gone into the shadows of the chaos era our world has currently entered?
Last year New Year’s resolutions seemed to be talked about at the start of December. Ads of gyms, nutrition plan apps, life coaches etc. seemed to flood the ether with their promsises to make you better.
Now…
It seems those ads are quieter and not as frequent. Maybe that’s the algorithm for you. Either way for those of you trekking on through with your writing/project goals clutched tight—our hats off to you!
If you are making resolutions for this next year let us know what they are in the comments! If you aren’t let us know why…
Before we jump into all the wonderful prompts we just want to say a quick THANK YOU! to all who have subscribed to and shared this publication!
How do I use writing/creative prompts?
Here are some helpful tips for you if you’re feeling lost.
Read this post to the end, pick one that stood out to you the most.
Set a timer (anywhere from 5-20 minutes)
Write, create, and be free.
Bonus: Use these prompts as a building block for projects that are already ongoing. Add depth to your main character, find a plot twist or that missing piece you have been looking for.
BE. FREE.
The Haiku Box
Fend for nothing cold
bitter winds blowing through clothes
the chill eats my bones
The Prompt Spot
These prompts are not just for writers. If you are any other kind of creative feel free to use these as concepts, springboards, foundations or whatever you fancy!
Visual Prompt
Written Prompts
blank page, nothing on it —a beginning or a continuation. Fill it with something.
Turn the screen off and get a piece of paper and pen.
“Barely eligable…”
Sherlock Holmes wasn’t even that good at observing things…
alternate - timeline, univserse, ending, beginning, personalities….
Announcements
