Are you finding a rhythm for your daily prompts? If you find yourself stalling, you might want to mix it up a little this week -try writing longhand if you normally go to the screen. Write lying down or standing up. Try writing outside, or in bed. In other words, this week consider flipping your approach. You might be surprised at where it leads you. That physical flipping might impact on the way you come to your characters, or the rhythm of your words. Creativity is about improvisation. And improvisation is about saying yes to the new, yes to unexpected possibilities, yes to surprise. So this week, allow yourself to be surprised.

Your prompt for today is:

Once the candle was lit…..

Leaves crunching underfoot

Leaves crunching underfoot

A sudden silence

“She couldn’t possibly know….”

You’re in a courtyard

Write about an unfamiliar object
