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 8th, 2021:
It's summer and what says summer more than picnics with ants in attendance. Well, actually ants anywhere. They find their way into the oddest locations and seem to be able to sense left out food from long distances. Some bite while others seem to be the playthings of pets or simply be around to gross out the unsuspecting. It is impossible to have a summer here in the Midwest without them.
So here is your prompt for the week:
Write a piece about the summer season from the perspective of an ant.
