Last week, I didn’t post here, because I was too busy drafting a novella for an anthology project with a deadline.
This Sunday is the second day of a very productive weekend. I prefer to write a little bit every day, rather than writing from morning, noon, and night during marathon weekends.
Normally, I spread the work out over the week, but this story did not come easily. Each project is different, and getting stuck isn’t always preventable.
With excellent feedback from my critique buddies, this weekend, I’m revising the story, expanding sections, cutting characters, reordering events, and rethinking clues and red herrings.
As usual, I need to expand the dialogue and descriptions of the setting. It’s work, but fun work which I will be excited to share with you once it’s done.
I hope your creative week is going well.
Prompt
Today’s prompt combines a few of my creative obsessions: twins, witches, and conscious versus unconscious aspects of personality. Over a lifetime, we embody multiple identities, and we wear different masks in society depending on the situation.
I’m not sure how these ideas will help inspire those of you planting seeds for a garden or knitting a scarf, but your creativity is your own. It might make an interesting journal prompt for free writing.
I wish you a creative week!
