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

(By the way, you don’t have to respond immediately. You have the whole day to figure out what you want to post.)

hashtag symbol made of pencils by Eric Binder for #vss365 #promptsSo, I hope more of you will join us in the #vss365 (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.
  • You don’t have to add photos, but I love color and images, so I usually choose to use them.

If you add #writingcommunity and/or #poetrycommunity to your post, you open the doors to meet writers of all genres who may see your work.

Some just walk in woods.

I am surrounded by woods.

Coons bowl with plant pots,

Trees crash, deer eat flowers, and

Roads freeze. Snow-bound, I suffer.

I Also Post About Other Things I Do + Some Offers

Nancy’s Novelty Presentation Infographics for Speakers, Trainers, and Event Coordinators

  • 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.

Nancy’s Novelty Memes & Quotes

Similarly, I make memes, often using quotes, that people may purchase inexpensively. Click Here to learn more. (I occasionally include some of these in Nancy’s Novelty Photos on Pixels also for people who would like them on t-shirts, mugs, spiral notebooks, or posters, etc.) 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.”)
