A Month of Madness October 4, 2022

The Muse has gone mad

The Muse’s Message

Hello again, my darlings. I hope you’re all enjoying the season. I know I am. Are we ready for another day of demented ideas? I hope so. I’ve already seen some wonderfully dark pieces that have given me more power. Much more.

Well, come along then. Let’s bathe ourselves in another dark prompt.

A Prompt to Ponder

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the term “blood bath”? Is it the result of an epic battle? The morning after a night of terror? Or do you think of an actual tub filled with the essence of life? I’m dying to know.

Your next assignment is to write a piece around your concept of: The Blood Bath

The Devilish Details

Though I would love to see the darker side of these tales, I’ll allow lighter pieces as well. Though I can offer inspiration, I have no control over how that inspiration transpires.

You may publish your pieces anywhere you like. I do ask that you tag my scribe, @sapheyerblu, so she can read them to me. It’s how I feed my own inspirational cravings.

I also ask that you add a link back to the prompt post. I won’t lie, I like the attention. It invigorates me.

My scribe has a publication where you can have your pieces published. If you’d like to be added as a writer, check out her submission guidelines and ask her to add you. She rarely says no.

Farewell For Now

Have fun, my darlings. And don’t just let the creative juices flow through you, bathe yourselves in them.
