Time for another month worth of writing prompts! It’s my favorite time of year, MerMay, so the first column is the MerMay 2024 prompts! MerMay is a mermaid-related art challenge, so all of these words are meant to be combined with merfolk of some sort. There are a couple of named individuals in this year’s […]

And it is nearly May, which means it’s time for one of my favorite monthly challenges, MerMay! And MerMay is the source of the first column of words/phrases. There are a couple on […]

It’s almost May (or, in the words of the meme, “It’s gonna be May”), and that means it’s time for MerMay! If you’re not familiar with MerMay, it’s an art challenge started by Tom Bancroft.

May is Mermay in the art community, and I like to turn a lot of art prompts into writing prompts. So the first column of this month’s prompts are from the Mermay 2021 list. And while these words are geared toward inspiring artists to draw mermaids, you may come up with different ideas for your […]
