The Chariot

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:

• controlling the direction of things

• travel and seeking

• willpower and discipline

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• Take the travelogue format and write a short travelogue of a world you have created (or a world that is unusual in some way). Don’t acknowledge the unusual nature - write as if it is normal.

• Take a character who is extremely capable and disciplined in the area in which the story is exploring. Come up with a list of obstacles until you find something they would fail to overcome.

• Your character is a guide who is uniquely skilled to help others pass through a challenging place. Tell the story of a group who is using their services.

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.
