Hello, dear Wordsmiths
My online friend of many years, Canadian poet Pearl Pirie, recently co-authored an app called Writebulb, described as ‘A prompt app for iOS 15’ available from the Apple Store.
It has all sorts of useful features to help people kick-start their writing, as well as a list of detailed and unusual prompts.
Excuse me for shamelessly putting in a plug for a friend, but of course it has potential benefits for us too – well, the Apple users among us. And, for the rest of you, you’ve got me!
I won’t make a welter of it, and I’m not incorporating other features of the app, but today I’m sharing with you a prompt from Writebulb that caught my fancy.
Prompt: Please allow yourself to be inspired by the phrase, ‘Broken glass crunching under the boot steps.’
As always, one post per person please, 360 words max (excluding title). It can be poetry or prose, old or new. Post it to your blog, share the post with us via Mister Linky below, maybe leave us a comment, and do visit other people’s posts for our mutual enjoyment
Next week, our Magaly will invite us to write poetry or prose inspired
by a fantastic first line. Can’t think of one? Here are
150 of the most compelling opening lines in literature.
App icon, details and prompt shared with Pearl's permission.
Love those opening lines, so much can be learned from them. About apps for writers: I wonder if they can be a little too helpful perhaps and end up pulling the strings of the writer's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI think you would find this app a good one. I haven't seen any others. I find that writing prompts don't take over my thoughts, but give me an opening into my own subconscious – they can only spark what is in my mind anyway.
DeleteI just downloaded the app, and looked around for a bit--it's quite good. The prompts are imaginative and refreshing. So, thank you, dearest Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! I think some of the prompts might be even better for storytellers than poets.
DeleteThank you for gifting us Pearl's app! Looking forward to exploring.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
DeleteGood day, Poets & Storytellers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the app. I shall explore it later. Meanwhile, I have written something for this current prompt, but shall post it later next week or so. Will be back later to check out everyone's works. :)
You sound busy! Good busy, I hope.
DeleteHaha, I guess so! I caught the health bug so I am joining a community that takes long walks on every early Sunday mornings. Also I am quite busy on Instagram and is planning to move overseas for a few months. :)
DeleteYes, that all sounds like good busy. *Smile*.
