Sunday Sparks
Sunday Sparks
Sparks of inspiration can come from anywhere. I am constantly viewing the world through a storyteller’s eyes, and my ideas are inspired by everything from the most commonplace situations of daily life to the most unexpected occurrences.
This blog’s Sunday feature is Sunday Sparks, a series of prompts to help get you thinking in new directions about your characters and their lives and interactions. These prompts will be broad and non-specific on purpose, The challenge will be to use your creativity in interpreting them and to craft a story or a scene inspired by them.
This week’s prompt is: one character proposes something to another

If you like to use your imagination, and if writing and character development is your thing, you're in the right place!
There are a lot of "OC Questions" blogs, and in my opinion there can never be too many of those, but I wanted mine to be a little different. This one will have character questions, but it will also have writing prompts, writing challenges and creativity exercises that I hope will help people get the proverbial creative juices flowing. I may also reblog writing tips or memes from time to time.
While the content of this blog will be aimed mainly at writers, many of the things may also be used by artists, animators and other creators. Everyone is free to use and share it.
You can answer the questions or do something with the prompts on your own, you can reblog and share them, or you can tag your friends and followers to do them with you. Use this content in whichever way feels most comfortable for you!
For the time being, I am creating all the content myself, but I will eventually open the ask box for contributions. I will do that on a schedule and I'll make sure I give plenty of notice.
Crediting me is not necessary, but if you do decide to use any of these prompts or questions, I think it'd be nice to be tagged so I can see what you create.
