Weekly Prompts Feb. 5–11, 2022
Your weekly dose of writing prompts
Hello my friends and welcome to the first full week of February. That time of year when love is in the air and brighter things seem to be on the horizon. In other words, come on spring!!!
I revamped the prompt list. I’ve kept a few of the original prompts but added a few new ones. I want to keep y’all on your toes. I’m sure a few of you will recognize the four I’m keeping. The Beginning, Poetic Visions, From the Memory Books, and These Three Things.
The new prompts are: Article Starters–I’m really hoping to read some great articles from these ideas.
Mixed Messages–Basically, these are metaphors and proverbs with a twist. Take the first half of this one and screw on the back half of that one and voila. Something new to think about.
Randimonium–Yep, I invented a word. These will just be the strange thoughts that run through my head. It’s kinda like me saying, “here, go play with this bit of weirdness.”
Time and Place–This was one of the very first prompt ideas I came up with some twenty years ago. It’s always been one of my favorites.
Monster Myths–I’m a sucker for the spooky. Not the whole blood and guts thing, just that shiver up your spine factor. I actually sit around and create creature names and “facts”. I would really love to read some legends about these creatures.
On the Market–Okay, this one might be tricky. I’m going to create new products and see how you’d market them to the masses.
As always, you can use these prompts in any way you see fit. Whatever the muse brings out, lace that bad boy up and dance with it. And remember, you can always come back at any time and play with these prompts. There are no time restraints on creativity.
Okay, kids. I hope y’all are ready for a new month and some new ideas. Now, get out there and show ’em whatcha got!

There you have it, my friends. I hope you can all find a little something to write about. Be sure to tag me in it (@sapheyerblu) and add a link back to this post. I’ll be honest, I have a hard time keeping up with y’all at times, but keep it up. I’m so proud of each and every one of you.
I do need to do a little call out here. This week’s From the Memory Books was inspired by LM and her response to one of my Daily Prompts. It’s about that kiss and it’s mesmerizing.
I love the response to her piece, written by Marcus aka Gregory Maidman. I think I died a little inside.
Be sure to check out Ravyne Hawke’s February Theme. I’m working on mine, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. This one will really make you reach in and find parts of yourself you may not want to find. But it is so worth it.
Okay, kids. Have a wonderful week and keep that creativity flowing. Until next time,
Happy writing!!!
