From a creative writing workshop I got three cool prompts:
Which animal would you like to be?
Which super-power would you like to have?
Which artistic work would you like to do?
Other prompts I love:
4. Tell me about 4 things of your day you don`t want to forget.
5. Tell me about which things/people called your attention the most during your day.
I like to hear about common superstitions or tall tales from different regions. Like throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder and such. Itās interesting to see how these things differ from culture to culture!
I think itād be nice if people shared how they practice self-care. This varies so much between individuals in the U.S. (some people like to do yoga, some āNetflix and chill,ā some go out with friends while others like to take time for themselves). Iād love to hear what people do in other countries (and learn more about the differences/similarities in the US).
the writing prompt from my profile I had the most response to was the question if the writer has ever lived abroad and where or if they could live abroad where would they want to live.
I recently added the question if they had ever met anyone famous and to tell who it was and where etc. I didnāt receive any response to that yet but I hope I will read lots of interesting stories in the future.
I agree - often I find that I run out of space. I either focus on something on the card - for example if itās a card from a vacation Iāll write about a memory or something we experienced during the trip - or Iāll respond to the writing prompts on the profiles and some are so much fun to write about! They really make me think/reflect and often I feel like Iām collaboratively journaling.
All the prompts can be found under this blog tag (thereās 46 already!), but to see just the titles, check the blog archives and search for writing prompt.
For future monthās writing prompts, Iād love to suggest the following:
Share your favorite song (in any language) ā I love to discover new songs from countries Iāve never lived in, so I can enhance my musical paletteā¦ you always need a friend who can introduce you to good things in life
Share your favorite foodās recipe so we can try cooking/baking them
Recommend a book that one must read in their lifetime
These are good! These capture my interest and I am thinking of answers. Good way to make the prompt fun and interesting. And the window one seems like stating the obvious, but it asks the writer to focus out the window-love it!
Iāve gotten ideas from different profileās and posts Iāve read through Postrossing. This is whatās in my profile at the moment and it also reflects my own likes and interests:
Something special or unusual happening at the moment?
Whatās on your bucket list?
Draw a unique self portrait!
What kind was the dog you last pet?
What made you smile today?
