Thoughts and Perspectives From the Mind of a Common Girl
Hello Everyone,
I’ve posted a new creative project over on my other blog “https://ellieevermore.com/” Please have a look if you’re searching for a new creative project idea. 😉
Rooted in Magic Dresser Project
Have a wonderful rest of your week! ~M (Aka Ellie) xoxo
I’ve noticed quite a bit of apathy in the blogging realm lately. And most people are either telling me that they’re out of ideas or expressing the desire for a break from the ordinary. With those thoughts in mind, I aim to spice things up this month to fuel the lack of inspiration that seems to be contagious. I’m hopeful that these whimsical combinations will light a fire underneath some of you and set your minds ablaze. Don’t give up! 😉 ~M xo
If you’re new to prompt writing, and don’t really understand how to use the prompts, please consider the following writing exercise.
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. 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.
As always, I will be writing and posting over on my other blog, which can be found here. So please come visit me if you get a chance, and hopefully I can keep up with all of you!
And one last thing before I forget! I made a quick tutorial for those of you who have been having trouble trying to figure out how to Pingback your posts. Please go here, if you’d like to view the tutorial.

I can hardly believe it’s already June, where does the time go? This month I decided to get *my girls involved once again, and so many of these are ideas are taken from the minds of an 8 yr old and a 16 yr old. They always come up with some great prompts, and so I’m glad I asked them for their help.
If you’re new to the idea of writing with the help of prompts, here’s what I like to do with them…
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.

Well here we are again, and I think you’re all gonna like this month. I thought we’d go with a very whimsical theme this time around. So, if you’re like me, and love to be silly and unpredictable, then I think these prompts will be just what you need. I’m reposting the writing instructions below, for those of you who have never done this before. I think you’ll find that this is a really fun way to incorporate writing prompts into your everyday life. Enjoy!
