8 Short Writing Prompts To Jumpstart Those Undecided Writers
Descubriendo una vida mejor: julio 2...

Many people believe that in order for you to become a better writer, you must first master the creativity that comes with being a writer. The creativity of writing such compelling stories or articles, dishing out materials left and right without breaking a sweat. The best thing you could do for yourself as a writer is to set aside a few minutes each day to practice, though we all know it isn’t always that simple when it really comes down to it. Sometimes it can be truly hard to think about material to write when you have just finished a piece or haven't written a piece in awhile. Here’s a few creative prompts that will help get your imagination boosting with energy when it comes to your next project:

1. How do you feel when you love someone who does not love you back?

2. Write about two people seeing/meeting each other for the first time.

3. Write something inspired by a recent dream/nightmare you had.

4. Use the following words in a piece of writing: feast, fire, modify, squash, robbed, forgotten, under-stated.

5. When we reflect upon our childhood, we often come back to a few key events that had a major impact on us. Talk about one of those defining events from your childhood.

6. Tell the story of a scar, whether it be physical or emotional.

7. If you could see and talk to the dead (ghosts), what would you say to them and why?

8. Look at any picture or a painting, write a story that you believe inspired the photo or painting. Explain what’s going on beyond the painting or photo…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.
