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.

Writing Prompt for July 23rd, 2021:
There is a certain symmetry to mystery writers thinking up murderous deeds and how to either get away with them or getting out of the crime. These are people that might just understand the cops, the MEs, the lawyers, the physical evidence enough to get away with it. They are also in the unique position that they might be able to outwit themselves.
What would happen if they suddenly found themselves all in one place and dropping like flies? Who would do something like that? Is it one of them? A crazed fan? An angry publicist tired of their constantly missing their deadlines and deciding to make them find the literal ones? And more importantly, do they get away with it?
So here is your prompt for the weekend:
Writers are being murdered at the mystery writers’ convention. You can either write from the perspective of how do they get away with it or how are they caught.
