Welcome to #QuillsQuest, a weekly #writing #prompt for mastodon.art and beyond!
Theme for Oct 23/29: Returns
As this prompt returns after a brief pause, I'm reminded of the ways we come back to certain threads as we write. This week, use the concept of repeating, be it conceptual or literal, to fuel your words.

On the heels of today's #QuillsQuest comes a question: Is there something you'd like to see differently about these prompts? In the past few weeks I've seen several shares but not a lot of responses--and that's totally fine. This is a busy time of year for many, and there's never any obligation to participate. Still, I thought I'd check in and make sure it was busyness and not something I could shift to make them more intriguing/approachable/inspiring etc.

Theme for Sept 5/10: History
Personally and collectively, we carry pasts, and they often twine themselves deeply into how people read and #write. This week, see what this concept might gift to your open page. What will your future hold?

Welcome to #QuillsQuest, a weekly #writing #prompt for mastodon.art and beyond!
Theme for Aug 28- Sept 3: Puzzle Pieces
No work is assembled from nothing, words, experiences and people always serving as building blocks. Let those raw elements of your craft inspire you this week. How do you build? Of what pieces?

Welcome to #QuillsQuest, a weekly #writing #prompt for mastodon.art and beyond!
Theme for Aug 21-27: Taking a Break
Sometimes we fight for the words, but sometimes, the best course of action is to take a little pause. This week, center such pauses--how do they feel? What is it like to decide to slow down?

CW: The Alien from Runesworld
"What's on your mind, Nahum?"
He/she/it lay on the pine-needle bed beside me, in the meadow of Shrinewood, on Ganymede. This was our yearly date--the Full Moon of August, as seen on Earth--and the time was 3 AM.
"I need to write an assignment," I said, "and this time I need to write about you... this seems so awkward."
"For starters, stop talking about me in Triple-gender," she murmured. "Of course I'm non-binary, like everyone else on Runeworld, but you may use the Poet's license to simplify things. Just choose the pronoun you are most comfortable with."
"Ok," I said to her. "Now... where do I start?"
"With a physical description," she replied, "as much as there is such a description when it concerns people like me."
I looked at her, a long, measured stare. She was humanoid, totally translucent and transparent except for a bare outline. She was naked, hairless, and without genital charactersitics. She looked... alien, but so intimately close...
She smiled. "That's a good start. Now, describe our typical date."
I go out to the outskirts of my neighborhood, an abandoned place, which serves us as a rendez-vous, and wait for her. She arrives in her spacecraft, which is as transparent as her, and I join her. The ride to Ganymede lasts between 10-30 minutes. I never asked her about the mechanics of Space travel.
We arrive on Ganymede around 10 PM, at the Interdimensional Spaceport, and walk to the Transition booth. She presses the buttons and chooses our destiny: one of the many meadows in Shrinewood. She places the "Do not Disturb" metaphysical signs around us and we start our picnic.
After we rest, we discuss my writing, and she gives me ideas. As an alien, she has a unique, fresh perspective on our local politics and customs...
"But not about sex," she interrupted me.
"That's why I never write about that," I smiled at her.

My lovely #WritingCommunity
This account will be a little bit quiet until Monday as I'm taking a quick pause. Do keep #writing and sharing each other's work, which many of you already do. If you're suffering with heat, try to stay cool! And remember that this week's #QuillsQuest is still waiting for you and I'd love to see what you write, if you haven't already! See you all soon! ✨✍️ -

Authors, do you spend more than 50% of your work time on writing and publishing activities? If you're an independent author who does, the Alliance of Independent Authors is running a survey so they will be able to compare traditionally published author earnings to indie author earnings. The survey is also designed to spot the factors that most affect author income, the learnings from which will help indie authors optimise earnings in the years ahead. Please share.
To participate in the ALLi survey, head to:
