I have discovered that, when I write to a prompt, I am often surprised by and pleased with what I put on paper. These prompts have led me to write short pieces that have been published, things I never would have created otherwise.

But how do I find a good prompt?

Lita Kurth’s prompts are unique and often challenging. The prompts are different and inspire me to picture scenarios faster than I can write down the details.

After flipping through the first few pages of this book, I feel inspired to carve out more time each day and week to see where my writing goes.

Which prompt should guide me first? The dialogue between two peanuts in a shell? The rooster haunting the farmer? A nature photographer looking for beavers? A detective using a time machine to solve a crime, which may include chasing time burglars?

The variety is amazing! I can’t wait to get started!

Many, many thanks. My hope is that people will find themselves relaxed, sometimes laughing, and creating from a place of fun and freedom.
