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:

• seeking

• innocence

• discovering a direction

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• Your character meets someone who claims to be a Seeker. Come up with ideas for what that could be. This will vary wildly depending on genre and world.

• A group of children are ‘dousing’ (I remember making dousing rods out of a coat hanger as a child). They find a source of water somewhere unexpected. What is it that they’ve found?

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.
