Intriguing post, M. And funny how it came at just the right moment. I too am in need of a good prompt right now, and was checking some out today. The idea to check out prompts when I’m between projects is a new one for me, but the “being stuck on what to write after I’ve just completed something” I know like the back of my hand. Never found a solution for it, and I always thought of it as writer’s block. Reading your post got me wondering, maybe they’re not the same thing? Anyway, prompts from lit mags are a very good idea. I’ll look some up and share any good ones.
Hi Martine, can't wait for your book to be published in March! I'll be the first one in line to order it.
Love the Tin Cup reference. I have played that hole many times!!!! Keep the writing coming
Great post - and oh yes, I love Tin Cup - I totally get the parallel there. The yips!
Prompts as a rule, don't work for me. But it sounds like they really do for you. It may be the reason your work is so diverse.
Me, I'm just thinking about stuff... and then I write it down. Sometimes :)
