Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
So the writing prompt for this story was to rewrite a myth. One of my least favorite myths is Pygmalion from Ovid’s Metamorphosis. I don’t like it because it gives me a serious ick vibes. This myth influenced other media, most notably, My Fair Lady. I love reading reimagined mythology and so I thought that
Here is a bit of a late Valentine’s Day poem from our writing group. The topic for this week was romance in any form. I did not win writer of the week but Keltin did get 2nd place. Happy (late) Valentine’s Day. Happily Ever After Happily ever after,That’s what the fairy tales sayHappens at the
Hello all! I have been writing even if I haven’t shared anything recently. I was really happy with the story below. The prompt was actually a call back to one of the original ones. We picked color swatches and used the names in the story. In writing this, I wanted it to be almost like
The prompt for the week I wrote this piece was exploring different types of Irony. I will admit, it had been a busy week and I took the easy way out and wrote a story for verbal irony (sarcasm). There are some that will argue that sarcasm is not actually a form of irony. To
This story was a ton of fun to write. It got me my third writer of the week – although I did tie with another person and I can’t be mad about that because I voted for their story as well. This prompt was a little weird. We rolled D&D dice to determine which D&D
This prompt was to write about lesser known cryptids. I selected the Enfield Horror, and originally I wrote a short story working to compaire the beauty of the night to the terror of the monster.

One of our prompts recently was that we all wrote down a wish and then drew someone else’s wish from a hat. Then in our writing we answered the wish is the worst possible way as if we were an angry djinn or forgotten wishing well. Wish Prompt: I wish I were an oscar-meyer wiener.
For this prompt we all selected either one or three Tarot cards. If we just drew one, we made a character from that card; if we selected three, then they were past, present, and future. I opted to select just one card. The card I pulled was Reverse Death, this is meant to symbolize resistance
The prompt from this week’s writing group was historical fiction set a 1,000 or more years into the future. Mine is based off of a mocumentary style historical fiction that someone in the future mistakes for actually history and then runs with making it even more ridiculous. This was a lot of fun to write.
Today’s prompt: dinosaurs Okay, that’s a little too broad. In reality we were each given a time period from the prehistoric past of earth and wrote a story. I like how my story turned out but oh my goodness, there were some excellent and wonderfully ridiculous stories from this prompt. Journal Entry – Ship Log
