Good morning. Welcome to this feature (inspired by Story A Day May) where I post a prompt, and accompanying (though not necessarily connected) picture*, so actually two prompts.
*Today’s picture shows a squirrel with its paws clasped together, presumably around something. The background is blurred but looks like trees and there’s a tree behind the squirrel to the right of the picture. The sun is shining from the rear-right highlighting the squirrel’s tail.
Unless there’s a name, only the first word will be capitalised so you can use it anyway you like: as a title, idea or the exact phrase used within your piece.
Being the author of (to-date) five Writer’s Block Workbooks and Ideas Diaries, I know how even a single word can help as inspiration to write something new whether it’s a short story, poem, piece of non-fiction, a script or even a novel! It could be a distraction if you’re writing something you’re struggling with or would just like to do something different.
Today’s prompt is…
Looked at the record
Do leave a comment below if you write something inspired by today’s prompt. NB. If you post your writing it’s deemed as published so may not be accepted elsewhere.
If you’d like to suggest a prompt for me to post (ideally at least two in case one’s too similar to one already posted or something someone else has already suggested), please complete the form on the A Prompt A Day page. I will include your website link if you have one, posting them once a fortnight.
If you’re an author, editor, illustrator, agent, publisher (anything in the publishing industry) and would like to take part in a spotlight, see Saturday Spotlights or email me for details.
