Three Spooky Creativity Prompts
Over the years I’ve shared some interesting creativity prompts. Some are quotes or first or last lines of books and others are pictures. I think creativity prompts work for any artist of any medium, whether it’s writing, painting, mixed media, etc. Creativity...
Use This Line For A Creativity Prompt
I love the movie The Hunt For Red October. A young Alec Baldwin played Jack Ryan and Sean Connery as the defecting Russian sub Commander. Tense sea battles, a satisfying ending, and a line that sticks in my head. “You arrogant ass. You’ve killed...
A Change In Format
For the past year, I’ve been posting regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It’s been challenging but fun to keep up the pace each week. Sometimes, though, a change is needed. So there is a change in format coming around the corner. Did you ever...
I Was Never Kinder To The Old Man
The 19th is a special number for me. Important things happen on that day. One August (1991) it was when I was hired at a company that I worked at for 25 years. In May it was both a day that I quit smoking (2002) and got married (2011.) In January it was the birth of...

So this week, I was thinking that the prompt I would use would go with the theme of the week: the call center closing. I even had a picture planned that showed the empty desks and chairs. But, now that’s it’s done and the center is closed, I’m just...
The Return of Creativity Prompts
It’s been retired for awhile, but I always knew that I would bring Creativity Prompts back once I had more time to allow for a third post each week. With my job winding down as the call center gets ready to close, more time is on the horizon, so it’s the...
It’s The Procrastination That’s Difficult
For me, most of the anxiety and difficulty of writing takes place in the act of not writing. It’s the procrastination, the thinking about writing that’s difficult. Adam Mansbach If you write, then you’ve been here at one point or another. It’s...
