Sparks №6 — Getting Cozy Around the Campfire

Weekly inspiration from Flint & Steel

Can you believe October 1st is Friday?! Life speeds up with the kids back in school, which is a good thing, but my sense of time seems to be flying out the window.

I wish we could all sit around a large bonfire, roasting smores and chat the evening away. That is my favorite family time activity during the fall months, hoping winter stays away for as long as possible.

The shorter days with crisp mornings guide me to coziness wrapped in an old knitted sweater with a cup of tea and a journal by my side. Memories of my mother spill over as the days creep to her birthday during this month. We would take long walks admiring the changing colors around us, chatting about our day and the upcoming holiday season.

What do you love about fall?

Any special fall memories when you were younger?

Around Medium: Calls for Submissions, Writing Prompts, and Challenges

As always review each publication’s guidelines for their prompts. Many prompts do not have a set deadline.

Make sure when you are responding to a prompt, you credit where your inspiration came from, like a link to the prompt article.

Many of these prompts could fall under nonfiction, poetry and fiction so don’t limit yourself. There is no right or wrong. Use these prompts as a springboard to your writing.

Write a poem, essay, short-form article.

If your a fiction writer, use this as a prompt for one of your characters. Will that object be a part of your story?
