Welcome to this new writing challenge endeavor!
I’ve recently decided that it would be useful for me to take a look through my poetry archives and contemplate the origins of poems, particularly to think about what might have inspired them at the time they were written.
I wondered also, if this might be something that others could participate in. If I share the inspiration, behind my archival piece, would visitors and writers be interested or willing to share a piece of work – old or new – using the discussion as a prompt, similarly to the way prompts are being used on a number of blog sites, at present.
Interested?
How can you participate? Use my discussion as a prompt to write a poem or some prose on your own blog, then create a pingback to the prompt page or post your link in the comment section – (please check to ensure your link appears in one form or another). Find out more about pingbacks here.
The first exercise is posted here.
Around the start of each new month, I’ll post a list participant links to encourage other bloggers to have a look at what inspires you.
If you have any questions, drop me a line and we’ll probably manage to work it out.
My thanks to and acknowledgement of the folk whose prompts I follow and often respond to. Check out the few I’ve listed below, and join a growing community of folk responding to prompts online.
Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC)
Cee Neuner has a quite comprehensive round up of Challenge or Prompt pages listed at her For the Love of Challenges page.
I like that your challenge is monthly, Frank. I’m too slow for the other ones. Regards. Tracy.
Not even a challenge, really, Tracy. Just a chance to share your own reflections on the creative process, I think.
Just make sure your link shows up – I’m having trouble with Pingbacks.
