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.

Writing Prompt for July 2nd, 2021:
With Independence Day just around the corner, it seemed like the perfect time to pull out the writing prompts filled with stars and stripes. The following leadup and prompt comes courtesy of Write Shop.
For more than a century, American colonists governed themselves according to conscience. Finally, in July 1776, fifty-six men signed the Declaration of Independence. Yet, they knew that freedom with self-government could cost their earthly fortunes and even their very lives.
So here is your prompt for the weekend:
Write about a time when you were self-governed and followed your conscience, even though no one else told you the right thing to do.
