How to use your prompts
Start by choosing a card from the list below. You can pick at random or pick a theme that calls to you. Once you’ve decided, you can take one of several routes…
1) Freewrite on the theme. Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes, and go for it. Don’t overthink it, and don’t plan it; just write whatever comes to you on that theme — a stream of pure consciousness to get your brain in gear.
2) Pick a writing format and use the theme as your muse. That could be a short limerick, a haiku, a mini-story, or a fake long-copy ad campaign. Whatever floats your goat, friend 🐐
3) Use the prompt as your own personal form of therapy and turn your morning pages into a diary entry. What does the card raise for you? Get it all out and clear your brain so you can focus.
