A writing prompt for anyone who has managed to avoid them thus far can never be right or wrong. Its only purpose is to help you exercise your creative writing muscle, and it does this by taking you out of your literary comfort zone and helping you explore a different side of your internal creative genius. So dive in, try something new and above all have fun.

If you feel like sharing your thoughts please leave a comment as I’m always curious to read what everyone creates.

My writing is reader-supported and is an important part of how I make a living. Everyone can read most new posts for about a month before they disappear behind a paywall. My work is supported by those who are able and willing to do so. If that’s you, you can subscribe at the usual rate of £3.50/month or £35/year. It’s roughly the cost of a coffee every month. Alternatively, why not share this post with friends, family, writer connections and anyone else who wants to explore their creative self?
With love, light, and laughter
