Writing Prompts

I’m 17 days into this journey of writing a blog post every day in November, and I’ll let you in on a little secret, just between you and me, dear reader.

It’s kind of hard. Some days the words just don’t flow out very easily. And more days than not, the hardest part is figuring out a topic to write about. Today is one of those days. No matter how much I pursue it, a topic is escaping me.

So I decided to search the web for writing prompts. Surely that would solve my problem! It turns out, though, that a lot of them just are…too over the top. I suspect many of them are meant to get a college student in a creative writing class out of a bind, not necessarily thirty-something uninspired bloggers.

If you’re still with me, you’ve discovered along with me that I’ve managed to stumble onto a topic about writing prompts and the difficulty of writing.

The truth is this is far from easy, but consistency is key. Sometimes the best prompt to get something done is to just do it.
