Live Your Dream
This week, the prompt is all about lost treasure. Your character moves into a new home, decides to plant something in the garden, and while digging, unearth some coins. What are they? Are they valuable? What’s the date on them? What do they proceed to do with them and what’s the outcome? If you’re journalling,…

Last Ramblings, I told you one thing on my should do list is figure out how to use my camera. When I saw this photo, it reminded me of just that. I thought we’d use this as this week’s photo prompt. Maybe, like me, the character hasn’t got a clue how to use all the…
This week it’s all about winter and snow and I’ve chosen this photo as a prompt- Who is this character? Is this is home or has he booked this as a vacation stay? Is he planning to meet someone here? Maybe it’s a location that doesn’t usually get snow. If you’re journaling, write about a…
A new month and the start of a new set of prompts. I thought we’d use November to put some photo prompts to good use. Another idea was to use the prompts to practice various writing skills and this week it’s dialogue. Here’s the photo. Start with some dialogue. What are these two people saying…
