Being a writer is often an interesting adventure of being in your own head with twisted writer thoughts, constant loops of did I really say/do that?, and the sideline punches that remind you that you’re not really a writer…
It happens to all of us.
The imposter syndrome…
The doubts…
And don’t even get me started on the idiots who don’t see the true potential in your hard work… ugh. (This could be anyone from an agent, publisher, or best friend who says… I don’t get it. Why would your character do that?)
Like seriously, there are days (weeks/months?) when writers play more wordle and video games than produce any words on a page.
Meh…It happens.
At that stage, a writer either needs a break, a retreat, or to switch up the routine.
For me, this can be poetry.
It’s short.
It’s to the point.
There are no rules and I don’t need to worry about commas… Lord, I hate commas….
Poetry uses a part of the brain that, for me, is somehow calming and cathartic.
So then this happened…
I created some prompts and then decided to create a journal.
Why not, right?
The first one is a pic of me (or my boots actually) as I sat to write poetry by the River Tweed in Scotland.
So my fellow writer and creative, if you’re in a bit of a funk and need to switch up or add to your creative endeavors, check out the links below.
Write to the prompts as you see fit and you’ll end up with 120 pieces of poetry… your own anthology!
The journals all have the same prompts…. just different covers. There are other covers coming too…
Having a little fun.
If you want to see the listing, just tap on the pic of choice.
