Strange Prompt Saturday 5:
One word has been erased from everyone’s memory, but you remember it. The word holds unimaginable power, but speaking it out loud has dangerous consequences. What’s the word, and what do you do?

I’d love to read what you come up with!

Strange Prompt Saturday 3:

Your reflection starts moving independently of you, acting out moments from your future. One day it shows you events you want to avoid. What do you do?

Been working on this for the past month - while writing a bunch of short stories and working on my novel plus working my regular tech job. Honestly the weekend is not long enough but can't wait to get this proof in my hand in a few days and see what I need to fix lmao. #writers #amwriting #authors

Everytime you lie, you lose an hour of your life but you aren’t notified of your remaining time until before you fall asleep. Write about the moment you realize you’re running out of time.

I use my laptop to plan my works but sometimes I like to use pen & paper. I searched for a planner but didn’t find anything I liked, so I made my own. Been working on it for a couple of weeks. I’ve decided what the hell I’ll publish it. Maybe it will be the right tool for another writer as well.

Was going to spend the weekend writing but instead spent it thinking about writing the last 2 sections of this short story I want to submit to a magazine.

Also played some Marvel Rivals …. sigh.

Today’s Writing Realization:
Writing isn't always easy depending on the day and your mood but eventually you get through your blocks. However, Marketing ... even harder and it doesn't matter on the day or mood and I have yet to get through that block lol. #writer #author #writing
