June Inspiration – Prompts are back!
Looking for inspiration? Maybe something different to write about? Maybe something that will jar your writing into a direction you wouldn’t normally take? Here’s a little daily nudge for you. By request, the daily prompts are back. I use many of these myself, and if you find they help you with your creativity…that’s even better!
A day late, so here are two for today!
Prompt #1

***Coming the 16th, this blog will host its first contest! Stay tuned for details! ***
Back from hiatus
Took a break after writing all those poems. I am excited to announce something new coming up for June. I hope to do another mini-poetry month marathon, which will include another round of prompts for all of those looking for boosts in their creativity. In addition to this, I have another surprise up my sleeve for all of you that follow me on this blog. Stay tuned. You won’t want to miss this.
Did you write your 30 poems?
Hey everyone! Did you write your 30 poems for the month? I ended up with 33. Now, it is time to edit them. Anyone participate in Local Gems’ chapbook contest, where you write 30 poems in 30 days? I did. I now see how well the poems fit with my chosen theme, lol.
