Happy July! Happy Summer!
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling the pull of long, lazy summer days. There’s something so lovely about eating lunch outside (despite the damn yellow jackets hovering around my food) and taking a few more breaks than usual.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not writing. I’m enthusiastic about my current WIP and I love the time I spend in the early morning writing it. I’m at the point now where I’ve built up enough momentum that the work flows easily. And I’m able to surmount the inevitable obstacles that arise.
When they do arise, prompts are a great workaround. And I’ve got thirty-one of them for you below! Every few months, I publish the primer on using prompts, as I did last month. In case you need a refresher, you can read that here.
And remember, paid subscribers get a handy PDF of the prompts to print.
Let’s get right to it.
