Writing prompts, creative arts goodness, and dogs for the algorithm. 🐕
I was going to give a horror writing prompt, but (according to the algorithm) there’s a toe video going around, or something.

I think you’ve had enough horror today.
Go drink some water, get some eye bleach.

Here. Have mine.

Today’s #Writing Prompt: ⏲️ Take 10.
Describe a setting that’s invigorated you, using as many sensory details as you can recall. An extra one: consider your gut/instincts.

How did you find yourself there?
What things about it energized you?

(Work off a pic if it helps! Here’s mine for today ⬇️)

This #prompt came from an opportunity after a 2022 IN Senate special session kicked off with a wildly exclusionary Christian prayer.

There’s need for interfaith prayer to set a tone: laws & justice are for all.

Senators invited me to write this Opening prayer, delivered in Senate 3Aug22.

What do you do, to remain committed?

*Pivot➡️Fiction: Sympathetic characters (not just your MC) have a system of beliefs that orient and inform their reactions. A creed might help!
