WRITING PROMPTS
Weekly Prompts April 16–22, 2022
Your weekly dose of writing prompts
Hello, my beautiful babies. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that a week has gone by already. My goodness, this month is moving fast. But here we are again and ready for a whole new week of writing genius.
You’ve all added some very cool pieces this past week. I did way more reading than I did writing. That’s okay, though. It was so worth it. I had a ball reading everything.
I want to give a huge shout-out to both Ravyne Hawke and jules. These two beautiful women have been knocking out the Word-A-Day list like mad. Ladies, I’ve had a blast reading your words. They have become my inspiration in keeping myself moving. Thank you.
So, anyway, let’s get on with the task at hand. I hope you all find something that inspires your soul and causes you to step outside of your comfort zone, even if only a little. Here are your weekly writing prompts for April 16–22, 2022.

Joanne Olivieri does a fantastic job of posting pictures she’s taken herself for her Photo Prompt pieces. She’s amazing.
Rose Malana is doing a super job creating her Natural Thought prompts. This week’s struck a chord in me the moment I read it. It’s not just about nature, it’s about thinking like nature. I love these.
