It's been a great practice to do a daily writing challenge to prompt words. The subconscious is a funny thing. For me, writing is a process of inviting my back brain to make connections and take me places I never would have found otherwise. But I have to trick it to come and play. Having a group of words tossed at me has been a great way to get connected to my deeper self.
Here are some of the recent pieces and the words that inspired them. When I've finished a month's worth of prompts, I'm thinking of putting them together in a free downloadable ebook file. Stay tuned!

My goodness, Lisa! These are excellent. The one from 11/10 took my breath. You hit on all my tender spots -- the coming of winter, dead flowers, crows...I love these prompt poems.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! They have been exactly what I've needed to help me find my way back to a writing discipline.
