A Month Of April Prompts In One Day
Come read this story poem by my good friend Walt. He has incorporated all 31 prompts into one poem this month, and it’s amazing what he’s done. Such a brilliant piece of writing!
Thanks once again to Michelle from
Putting My Feet In The Dirt
for her list of daily prompts for the month of April.
Special thanks this month to Michelle’s daughters,
Brianna and Autumn for their contributions to these prompts!
Please visit her site for the April list of daily prompts.
This is the voyage of the Starship “Blog Machine”,
Star Date April 31st, way in the future.

Brianna and Autumn.
It’s April here at Starbase Tatooine and Easter has come
and gone. After The explosive egg hunt, Han Solo was
caught Chewing chewbacco. We had to wait to depart
while The stars stood on standby, Spacing out in
shadows doubt over what Solo had done. We knew
that Jumping Jupiter can’t get stupider, so we waited
as Time blossomed then shriveled.
When we finally departed, It went…

April Writing Prompts
This month I’ve been reading and watching mostly Sci-Fi, and so I decided to take the inspiration from all of that and use it towards this months prompts. Also, my youngest two daughters had a hand in helping me with these, and so I must give credit to Brianna and Autumn Cook for their clever ideas. Brianna is my punner and Autumn is my comedian. Hope you enjoy the prompts they’ve helped me create for all of you. ~M

Also, for those of you who may never have tried this challenge before, here is what I suggest you try…
To begin, settle into your favorite place in the house with a hot drink to warm your waking bones. Once you’ve warmed up a bit; grab your journal, a trusty pen, and a timer. Then, set your timer for ten minutes and begin writing about one of the prompts listed below. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, neatness, or anything like that; just write! Write about anything and everything that comes to your mind, and don’t stop until the ten minutes are up.
I often find myself writing short stories or poems during those ten minutes, but you can write about anything you like. And don’t be alarmed if what you’ve written doesn’t quite make sense. The whole idea behind doing this exercise is to get your mind ready and working so that you can begin your day. Just think of it as exercise for your brain, and once you’ve done your ten minutes of writing, you’ll feel more prepared to tackle the rest of your day. Good luck and happy writing!
Sketching Week 6
Here’s my final project for this week. I took photos along the way to show the entire process. The overall drawing took me approximately 15 hours to complete and I used a 4B graphite pencil for the entire drawing. I was surprised a handkerchief could take this long to sketch. Lol… 😉
March Writing Prompt Participants
We had another great month of writing, but like some of you, I sort of fizzled out towards the end of it. I have written another month of prompts for all of you, and if you enjoy sci-fi, those will probably be of interest to you. They’ll be posting tomorrow at 8:00 CST, so be sure to look for those. This month was amazing! So many of you stayed the course. So I’d like to mention those of you who were regular participants throughout the month. All of you are such wonderful writers! Thanks for writing alongside me, it’s been so much fun. 😉
And here’s the links to all of the amazing poems and stories that were created this month. Well done everyone!
