How #vss365 #prompts Work – for Your Daily Enjoyment!

The facilitator on Twitter gives us a mind-exercising word #prompt that we are to use in creating poetry or prose. The prompts get our creative juices flowing and help us start each day with something deliciously new to contemplate.

So, I hope more of you will join us in the#vss365(which means ‘very short stories – 365 days a year’)  #prompt  (the word you use when you create a Twitter-sized response in poetry or prose)challenges on Twitter!

It’s for everyone – from people who’ve never written poems or prose before all the way to real Pros! Here are some details.

You can write something humorous, elegant, scary, or abstruse – whatever you want to do will work!

People don’t usually do this, but you may submit more than one entry per #prompt word.

Adding photos is not a requirement. However, I love color and images, so I usually choose to use them, unless no photo could depict what I wrote (like on esoteric and spiritual topics).

You don’t have to respond immediately. You have the whole day to figure out what you want to post. Also, you can have the prompts emailed to you daily if you wish.

And/Or Keep Scrolling for More Ideas!

Meet Other Writers Online and Join the Communities

If you add #writingcommunity, #amwriting, and/or #poetrycommunity to your post, you can meet writers of all genres who may see your work. I find them to be very supportive of one another.

Other #prompt Challenges

There are SEVERAL fascinating and fun word challenges in which you can participate, regardless of your skill level! Let’s grow together!

As you can see, I created a logo for my weekly posts in the category #vss365 (#veryshortstories #365 days a year). This is the logo I’ll use when sharing my responses to that challenge.

However, I also participate in some other brain-teasing word challenges that you can join as well. If I’m sharing several of my posts to those sites, like I’m doing for the #vss365 #prompts, I’ll use similar logos, like these. The writing on the coffee cup will tell you which challenge the posts used.

When I create those posts, I’ll give more details about their specific requirements. Meanwhile, you can check them out, as follows: BraveWrite | Haiku (and other Japanese poetry forms) | Move Me Poetry Battle…(formerly known as Poetry Battle Friday #PBF).

***

BREAKING NEWS! Move Me Poetry has instituted a new feature in which people read one another’s poems on video and share them with credit to the author. I LOVE it! Discovered it “after the fact” though, so I’m just sharing the “handle” you can use to find them on Twitter. #MMPkickabout.

Nancy’s Novelty Presentation Infographics

for Speakers and  Event Coordinators

Nancy’s Novelty Presentation Infographics for Speakers, Trainers, and Event Coordinators for Conferences, Retreats, and Training Sessions. These work beautifully on Zoom or in person, and as slides, table displays, and part of the handouts. You don’t have to use a PowerPoint presentation to use them, but they are easily inserted into PowerPoint.

• Since I am a public speaker and conduct classes and consultations, I felt the need to use infographics to announce breaks, instructions for break-out sessions, and more, so I created these inexpensive collections to benefit others, as well.
• Most themes have several individual “slides” that can be bought separately or as a collection.
• These can be used online or in person.
• People who have used them came back for more! Some also asked me to customize infographics for them.
• Here are some quick samples. As you can see, there are different themes correlated to the kind of group that is holding an event.

Again, you can always contact me for a free, initial consultation to get details about anything I present. Just email me at #MyPersuasivePresentations@gmail. com. and put “Inquiry – Infographics” in the subject line. To see more samples first, Click Here.

• The collections contain themes. Examples include flowers, quotes, activism, sports, landscapes, holidays, seasons of the year, animals, children, politics, food, health, and more.

For writers, spiral notebooks with motivational covers can help keep notes for different projects easy to spot and more uplifting to use than just having scraps of paper everywhere. (I should know … I’ve been a bit too “scrappy.”)

Here are samples.
