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 this summer. 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 1st, 2021:
Everyone knows about the disaster of Pompeii. Many people think of the people from that island as having all died when Vasuvius erupted. But only about one tenth of the population died in the catastrophy. Many citizens either weren't there at the time or managed to escape with help from the Roman navy. Only those that decided to wait it out or stay for too long drowned in the resulting clouds of ash and volcanic debris.
So here is your prompt for the week:
Write about someone who survived the disaster of Pompeii only to be caught in another disaster.
