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, […]

On Monday, I shared the eleventh prompt from the Big Pink Book. If you guessed that I was going to do something with blue doors, you’re absolutely correct. (It was probably pretty obvious.) Even though the image at the top left is a birdhouse, it had a similar shape and dimensions as the door at […]

It’s time, once again for next month’s writing prompts! This time, we’re just about to head into September, which means autumn for the northern hemisphere! I’ve got a collection of older September art challenges that I haven’t used before this month. The first column is from Catember 2025. How did I never know there was […]

On Monday, I posted the blank version of the tenth prompt in the Big Pink Book, which had themes of joy and happiness. Of course, I had to take it in a different direction. A while back, I wrote a drabble titled “Tarot Esoterica: The Black Lagoon,” which appeared in This Book Has Ghosts in It. […]

On Monday, I posted the blank version of this page, and today, I’m back to show you how I used it. The first thing I did was to mark the text, “When it rains, look for rainbows. When it’s dark, look for stars,” to flip the elements, making it “When it rains, look for stars. […]

Time for the August 2026 writing prompts! This month, the columns have a bit more overlap than usual, so I’ve tried to mark all of those with an asterisk where they’re identical or very similar. The first column is The Petite Planner’s August 2025 #StopDropDoodle challenge. The words in this column are almost entirely magical […]
