It has been... SEVERAL hot minutes since I updated here, huh?
Long story short: big creative block. New year starting. Fun challenge time!
Just before the holidays I got my copy of The Story Engine deck, which is used to generate story prompts. I'm going to start the year off with a month of creative outlining and prompt building to remind myself how to come up with stories. I've never felt like a big "ideas" person, which has made creating hard when I'm working by myself. So this should be fun!
THE CHALLENGE:
Every day, I will spend 5 minutes doing a prompt card spread, and then at least 5 minutes brainstorming or starting an outline.
That's 10 minutes of creating every day. A very achievable goal, but I do want to make sure I do it EVERY DAY.
Come February I'll assess and consider if I want to do another challenge, something that focuses more on fleshing things out.
So, without further ado:
( DAY ONE PROMPT (which I actually did yesterday, I swear) )
Okay, that was fun. Now for today's prompt!
( DAY TWO PROMPT )
Two days, two prompts - so far these are both story seeds that I'd be happy following up on. I'm sure there will be a few throughout the month that lose their shine after a while, but so far I'm looking forward to doing more!
