This week’s prompt from the Big Pink Book went in an odd direction! I’d called this one “space” on Monday, because of the top left sticker, and when I sat down to work on this page, I was also thinking about a prompt of “trickster.” My thought was to find a trickster goddess who might […]

The sixteenth prompt from the Big Pink Book has four stickers, and I’ve decided to call it Space! after the first one. At the top left of the page, there’s a rectangular sticker showing what is likely a planet and its moon on a dark background, lit by a star in the midst of a […]

It’s almost November–I can feel it in the air! So it’s time for the November 2026 writing prompt list! The first column is Nocturnal November, and it’s all nocturnal animals! There was one on the list that I hadn’t heard of, so I added a Wikipedia link for that one. If you don’t want to […]

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 […]

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 […]

The thirteenth prompt in the Big Pink Book is another page with a lot of space to write. The stickers are situated at the top left and bottom right corners. In the top left corner, there are a total of five stickers, all in a column. The top sticker is a circle with purple at […]

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 […]
