[stylist] Getting back to the heart of things: writing prompt

Hello,

We've had such lively, active discussions lately, and I've learned a lot
along with being able to share a lot. But I'm itching to put thoughts to
paper, and though life is busy, I hope to challenge myself and others to
attempt a writing prompt.

Since recent threads have revolved around Wicca and witchcraft and the
Salem witch trials, I thought we could take inspiration from this line
of thought. To make it specific, and perhaps easier, the focus can be on
the Salem witch trials.

It can be fiction, nonfiction, poetry. You can continue the fantasy
exercise and develop a short prompt in this vein. Or you can attempt to
get into the mindset of either a real person or fictionalized character
who is either the accused or the accuser. Or you can explore this time
in history and the impact it has on the world. These are just a few
prompts to get the creative juices moving. You may think of another
angle or perspective but just write.

May the magic of creativity give you wings to fly, grin.

Bridgit
