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 […]

On Monday, I posted the eighth prompt from the Big Pink Book, which had some zen-like vibes. Rather than use those vibes to write fiction, I used this page to think a little bit about balancing the various demands on my time. This was likely because I worked on it after having participated in the […]

I’m back today with how I used prompt 7 in the Big Pink Book, which had four stickers that presented a weird combination. I used them to write a drabble, interpreting the stickers as futuristic warning symbols indicating atmospheric and other dangers! This page shows you some insight into both my drafting and revision processes. […]

For the sixth prompt in my Big Pink Book, I decided to use the fantasy imagery, particularly the unicorn, to write some poetry. At the top of the page, I wrote seven lines of what amounted to vaguely iambic pentameter (it’s not perfect, but it’s in that ballpark). And none of the lines rhymed, though […]

The second column is the Doodlewash July 2025 World Watercolor Month prompts, which was the 10th anniversary of World Watercolor Month. This […]

So this prompt page wound up with me writing a lot of tiny notes, and it’s kind of a mess, honestly. Instead of trying to transcribe it, I’ll summarize what I’ve got. First off, I identified the flags as papel picado, because I hadn’t known their actual name before. They’re connected to the Day of […]

On Monday, I shared the blank version of this page, and today, you get to see what I did with it! Here’s what my notes say: Hymnal of Transformation (with an arrow pointing to the books) music as magic = lyramancy RyA theme -> predicament what if you have to finish a hymn if you […]

Time to share what I did with prompt 3 from the Big Pink Book! I’m not much of a puns person, so I took the “It’s funny” prompt and came up with some first sentences connected to that. Even though there were 20 dots on the page, I only wrote 10 sentences, since some took […]

We’re already to the last weekend of May, which means it’s time for the June 2026 writing prompts! This month, the first column comes from Doodlewash’s June 2017 World Watercolor Group prompt list. This list is very themed toward summertime and very normal. But it could be interesting to think about what this modern world […]
