We’re almost through January now, so here’s February’s writing prompts! This month, I’ve picked prompts from art challenges. The first two columns are definitely more February themed, but without too much overlap. The third column adds a nice random element to the mix! Column 1 is Doodlewash’s February 2025 prompts. Column 2 is from Natural Beach Living […]

Reading: Wonderbook and books to review, along with assorted Wikipedia and other articles as I start preparing to write another historical superhero novella! Watching: It’s mostly been K-pop and other music-related content, but we did recently watch The Undertaker and Mick Foley’s Hell in a Cell Retrospective, which is their recap of one of the […]

Time for more weird history to inspire your writing or maybe just pique your curiosity! February is called “The Strangest Month of the Year” in this article on Medium from 2018. While it doesn’t delve too deeply into historical events, one might argue that the events it covers from seven years ago are recent history, […]

It’s time for the February 2025 writing prompts! This month, I decided to use random words from Random Word Generator. Column 1 is nouns, column 2 is verbs, and column 3 is adjectives.

I had three pieces come out in February, all flash fiction! Small Wonders reprinted my story “Grandmother Firebird,” which is a sweet and cozy multigenerational tale of daughter, mother, and grandmother. My story “The Glass Cauldron Shattered” appeared in 99 Fleeting Fantasies, an anthology of flash fiction pieces. This one takes a look at magical […]

It’s time for the February 2024 writing prompts! As per the usual, I’ve pulled these in from other sources, though I had to do some digging since this year is a leap year! The first column is from a 2023 Kick in the Creatives February “Faces” prompt list. I added the word for the last […]
