Hello–I know it’s been a while since we’ve updated this blog, but I wanted to go ahead and re-activate this and offer a fresh writing prompt:

How do you fight demons in your daily life–those pesky, stressful things that come back to get you?

How do your characters do it?

Writing Prompt: Movies that speak to your life

I just watched the movie, “Saved!” from 2006. I had forgotten just how much this movie related to my life, especially living in a conservative town.

Is there a movie that speaks to your life? If so, which one, and why?

Writing Prompt: Give peace a chance

From uttering the words “peace out,” to wearing “trendy” things like peace sign necklaces and earrings, the word and symbol of “peace” is tossed around a lot. Sometimes, I believe the meaning has gotten lost.

Are you a person who dons peace apparel alone, or do your actions and words reflect what you’re projecting in fashion? Do you wear it because it’s trendy, or because it’s to make a statement?

Writing prompt: Meaningful objects

TaraAthenry — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:11:58 +0000

I was writing about constructing pagan altars yesterday, and including meaningful objects.

What objects are most meaningful to you and why? Does the sentimental reason outweigh the monetary value of the object?

Writing prompt: 2012, Armageddon, Apocalypse…

What do you think about the end of the world? How does you religion or spirituality address this?

Here’s my answer to the hype.

Writing prompt: Bye bye, Bushy!

mkmiller — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:53:39 +0000

Tomorrow, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the next President of the United States. America will say “Bye bye, Bushy!”

What will you remember the most about Bush?

Writing prompt: Obligations vs. For the hell of it

This idea struck me today, when I was sitting down to read my Bible. I felt like I was doing it because I was “supposed to.”

Do you have anything in your life that you do because you feel obligated to do it, and you feel badly if you do not?

Writing prompt: Stress

TaraAthenry — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:04:10 +0000

What kinds of stress do you have in your life? How do you handle it? Have you ever seen other people handle stress in an odd way?

Writing prompt: Obama Administration

TaraAthenry — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:08:50 +0000

Someone I know keeps reminding me that people seem to think things will magically get better when Obama takes office. As an Obama supporter, I don’t think that’s true, but I think his uplifting spirit will help everyone’s attitude. What do you think?

Writing prompt: New beginnings

TaraAthenry — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 01:33:28 +0000

Okay, so it’s the new year and you have your resolutions. So what about the new beginnings? Starting over? There’s more to it than just INTENDING to do things differently…what do you think about the actual theme and feeling of newness and how does it apply to you?
