This week’s prompt from the Big Pink Book went in an odd direction! I’d called this one “space” on Monday, because of the top left sticker, and when I sat down to work on this page, I was also thinking about a prompt of “trickster.” My thought was to find a trickster goddess who might […]

It’s almost November–I can feel it in the air! So it’s time for the November 2026 writing prompt list! The first column is Nocturnal November, and it’s all nocturnal animals! There was one on the list that I hadn’t heard of, so I added a Wikipedia link for that one. If you don’t want to […]

They’re written somewhat haphazardly across the page, not in any particular […]

On Monday, I shared the blank version of the thirteenth prompt page in the Big Pink Book. Here’s what I did with mine! I decided that the watercolor flower and the very even pink flowers had a bit of a contrast and thought about writing a story in which there’s technology that can make perfectly […]

It’s time for my favorite writing prompt batch of the year, the October prompts! I am an “Every day is Halloween” sort of person (as possibly evidenced by my improbable skeleton collection, which is the photo on this post (though the octopus skeleton is hiding under the filigree skull)), so October is one of my […]

For the twelfth prompt from the Big Pink Book, I took the three elements together and combined them into an idea for writing a poem with the title “A Galaxy Draws a Self Portrait.” I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m posting a photo of my page of notes. At the top of the page, […]
