Welcome to this week’s (not so) Tiny Prompt inspired by the skies above us.
This is your mid-week pocket of creative succulence to expand creative imagination.
If you’ve already read the introduction below, jump straight to the prompt underneath.
Tiny Prompts are bite‑size (and sometimes bigger) bursts of inspiration that deepen your imagination and reconnect you with nature. Each prompt is designed to spark curiosity, helping you explore the world creatively and generate vivid, original writing.
Twice a month on a Wednesday, I’ll send you a Tiny Prompt as an invitation to notice subtle details and translate them into fresh writing through:
an image
a sound or video clip
a word or poem
and a prompt
Tiny Prompts are offered in the spirit of joy, of pleasure and succulence or depth and beauty; they may be soulful, philosophical, serendipitous, sensual, simple or offer perspectives on the shadow and light aspects of life.
Inspiration for Tiny prompts is drawn from my in-the-world explorations with an emphasis on the natural world.
THE INVITATION
The invitation is to use the prompt to write or create in the form you love most for at least 10 minutes per week. Write a poem, a story, an article, song lyrics or use the prompt for personal journaling. If you’re a multi-media creator, prompts might inspire a print, a drawing or painting, a dress design or a piece of jewellery - take the prompt and create in whichever way lights you up. The prompts will mostly be writing or story-focused; however, ONE SPARK can create multiple expressions.
WHY?
It’s not about creating something polished or even completing anything, but rather staying open to what could emerge. Our senses connect us to the world around us. Our imaginations and creative lives need continued nourishment. Consider the prompts an opportunity to wonder, explore and gather sparks of stories, thoughts and ideas for your personal library of creativity.
When you rediscover the magic in everyday existence, your creativity comes to life.
Feel welcome to share how the Tiny Prompts spark your creativity in the comments section for each one.
Enjoy!
