Maybe you have absolutely no idea where to start but have always wanted to try being a writer. Maybe you want to write the great American novel or you thought you'd write a poem about hidden life of a grain of sand. Maybe you just need a little inspiration to get you started or you find yourself just a little stuck. Maybe you find yourself trying to break out of your comfort zone or mix things up at work. Whatever your reason for landing here, practicing a little creativity can impact your life in ways you didn't expect.
But let's be honest. Creativity is a muscle and it needs exercise to work properly. That's where this series comes in. With any luck, this series will get your creative juices flowing and get you thinking in ways you hadn't before. A new prompt will appear once or twice a week. It's up to you what you do with it.
Oh, and be sure to check out our Community-Written Stories books and help us add to one of six stories we are writing and circulating this summer.
Writing Prompt for June 29th, 2021:
These days, it seems like everyone knows about at least one viral cat, and I don't mean contagious. I mean the celebrity cats that have their own YouTube channel, Instagram account, Pinterest account, blog, bank account, etc. These cats are everywhere. The funny thing is, for as omnipresent they are, internet cats have only been around for barely more than a decade, hamming it up for audiences many will never see (we can't all be Grumpy Cat with book tours and around the world travels). Some are exploited but others seemingly love the attention, the travel, the hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of worshippers.
So here is your prompt for the week:
Find a cat picture online (or make your own) and write your own meme caption or write as if you were that cat.
Alternatively, you could try to find the next animal internet sensation and argue why they are more worthy of our infatuation than the not-so-humble meme cat.
