Creative Writing Resources
Writing offered as practice, reflection, and quiet companionship.
Writing Prompts
These prompts are offered as invitations rather than instructions. They are designed to help you begin, return, or pause with writing, without needing to know where you are going.
You can move through them slowly, revisit the same prompt over time, or leave them unfinished. There is no expectation of outcome or completion.
At This Point
Take a moment to pause.
Complete the sentence:
At this point, I’m allowed to…
Write just one line. Do not explain or justify it. Let the sentence stand as it is.
What I’m Carrying
Complete the sentence:
What I’m carrying right now could also be called…
Again, one line is enough. There is no need to make it accurate, fair, or complete. Write what comes.
If This Object Could Speak
Choose an object nearby that holds some meaning for you.
It might be something you use often, something you keep close, or something you’ve barely noticed until now.
If this object could speak, what would it say to you at this moment?
Write a few words or a short sentence.
Writing, Research & Practice
These are short excerpts drawn from teaching, conversation, and writing life. They are fragments rather than finished statements, shared for their ability to open thought rather than close it.
They are offered without context or conclusion, and are meant to be read lightly or returned to.
