On Monday, I shared Prompt 14 from the Big Pink Book, and now I’m back to show you how I used it! Rather than writing a specific piece for this prompt, I came up with some ideas for story titles, sometimes with additional notes. They’re written somewhat haphazardly across the page, not in any particular […]

Prompt 14 in the Big Pink Book features stickers mostly across the top of the page, with a single sticker at the bottom, left-hand corner, and provides a TON of space for writing. Across the top of the page, there are six stickers. From left to right, they are: An iridescent silver musical staff, which […]

The next prompt (#12) in the Big Pink Book is a mostly blank page with three stickers, arranged in a rough diagonal from the top left to the bottom right. At the top left is a small, light pink, vaguely rectangular sticker bearing the text “Every artist was first an amateur.” In the center of […]

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 […]
