The Tower

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:

• destruction of the old

• chaos

• change

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• Many stories show either the destruction of negative traditions or the defence of positive ones. Try to write a story where your traditions are positive, and yet change is still embraced.

• A character who is determined to throw down old powers, but in doing comes to understand their necessity and ends up changing their allegiance.

• Pick a trope. Part way into it, the character has a sudden flash of insight as to the way the story is headed. They reject it. What happens next?

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.
