Any Story LGBTQ+ Paranormal/Supernatural Romance

Today I am going to use a writing prompt I use when I find myself stuck. And I don’t mean just stuck in my writing life. I have used it when I find myself struggling to make an important decision or a major life change. What I do is sit and write for ten to fifteen minutes or until a breakthrough on the story is fleshed out.

The prompt is: I’m thinking of . . .

I’m thinking of adjustments. Not only in my school story, but life. There is a major issue that needs addressing, and I find myself unable to do so. Why? A question for which only one answer exists: Mental Health. It sucks to have lived with it for more than half of my life. However, it is what allows me to create my stories and the worlds I create for each of them. Each world/story I build holds some aspect that has affected some aspect of my life, which is full of chaos, which is a major part of someone who suffers from multiple mental illnesses. As for my school story, it took me almost three months to figure out how I wanted to tell this story. I think the major challenge is that I’m trying to make it a short story. I do not write short stories. I can write a novella, but I mainly write novels, which means I need to pay attention to the last section of the directions of the assignment, where it states it can be the beginning of a novel.

End of Writing Prompt

There is the completion of my writing prompt. As you can see, it is a jumbled-up mess of words. Or chaos of thoughts that freely flow from my mind. After I let it sit for a day, I can come back to it and see how these thoughts may help me in the areas I touched on. I can already tell you it has given me a breakthrough on the story for school. It may not have helped me much with the life aspect, but I can tell it helped me with my school assignment.

I hope you all have a great day and found the look into how I sometimes break through my writing and life blocks interesting. There will be other writing prompts I use in the future. Most of them will come from the Writing Down the Bones Deck by Natalie Goldberg, which accompanies her book Writing Down the Bones. The book was suggested to me by a Professor, and it was a very helpful writing book to read. I suggest if you are a writer, you check it out.
