Six of Coins

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:

• prosperity

• generosity

• equilibrium

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• A philanthropist funds a project. Why? What are their real motives versus the motives they claim?

• King Philip IV of France brought down the Knights Templar because he owed them money. Write a story on a debtor trying to destroy the person they owe money.

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.
