Knight of Cups

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:

• Romantic

• The inner self

• Connection

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• Knights are often messengers - write a story in a short sequence of love letters

• The Knight of Cups is romantic, poetic and enthusiastic, but not very reliable or realistic. Create a character like this in a role they wouldn't normally fit into e.g. a mentor

During January 2024 I recommend using these either to generate ideas, alongside the Solo Writer’s Curriculum theme for the month, or to prepare for the writing activity I will be suggesting next month, Flash February (28 days, 28 pieces of flash fiction).

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.
