Welcome to this week’s Tiny Prompt - if you’ve already seen the introduction, jump straight to the prompt underneath.
Tiny prompts offer you new ways of noticing and coming into contact with the world through your senses. They guide you to cultivate curiosity, creativity and succulence by becoming more intimate with life through noticing small details.
Each week on a Wednesday, I’ll share a tiny prompt to stimulate your senses and spark your creativity awake.
You’ll receive either:
an image
a sound clip
a video
a word
And a tiny prompt to spark your writing/creativity.
Prompts may be offered in the spirit of fun and joy, depth and beauty or pleasure and succulence; they may be soulful, philosophical, serendipitous, sensual or simple and sometimes offer perspectives on the shadow and light aspects of life.
Tiny prompts are taken from my in the world explorations of the things I notice in everyday life, with an emphasis on the natural world, to encourage fresh thought and new perspectives for your creativity.
THE INVITATION
The invitation is to use the prompt to write or create in the form you most love for at least 10 minutes per week. A poem, a story, an article, song lyrics - or if you’re a multi-media creator, it might inspire a print, a painting, a dress design, a piece of jewellery - take the prompt and create in whichever way lights you up. (The prompts will mostly be writing/story focused, however, ONE SPARK, can create multiple expressions).
It’s not about creating something polished, or even completing anything, but rather staying open to what could emerge. Consider the prompts an opportunity to gather sparks of stories, thoughts and ideas for your personal library of creativity.
Feel welcome to share how the tiny prompts spark your creativity in the comments section for each one.
Enjoy!
