Seven of Swords

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:

  • secrets

  • deception and trickery

  • self-awareness and perspective

  • illusion

Some thoughts that occur to me:

  • Write a story where your character discovers a hidden world and tries to expose it. Write them as the hero.

  • Write the same story from the point of view of a government agent who is trying to keep it hidden. Also write this character as the hero.

  • A character can see something no one else can. How to they deal with their truth against the truth of others.

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.
