Death

I'm going to be posting daily prompts to inspire writing, art or journaling. Use these as you would like to help keep your creative practices moving.

Key words/ideas:

• transformation

• change

• endings

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• This card rarely signifies actual death, other than in how the experience of loss may effect change and transformation. How can loss and death drive the hero to become the villain?

• A character is undergoing some kind of change or transformation. How do they mourn for what they are losing, whilst also preparing for the next step?

• Endings can be good, bad, ambiguous or indifferent. Pick a story/classic and write each character musing on the ending and what it means for them.

Note that cards are drawn at random and may be drawn more than once. In that case I will repost with an additional idea. I am going to cap the number of repeats at 3 until I’ve been through the whole deck, but other than this I let the luck of the draw decide. Coming up with more ideas for the same card will force me to be more imaginative and its something I strongly recommend.
