“Be thou the tenth muse ten times more in worth
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate
And he that calls on thee let him bring forth
Eternal numbers to outlive long date
If my slight muse do please these curious days
The pain be mine but thine shall be the praise.”
–William Shakespeare, Sonnet 38
We all get stuck for writing ideas sometimes. Light knows I do. So, as a way to encourage more blogging (for myself and others), I’ve created a mailing list that will present one or two writing prompts a week. On Mondays, an email will be sent to the list highlighting everyone’s prompt-related blog posts.
If you’re interested in joining, know this: You are not required to blog about every prompt. And there is no set word limit, topic, genre or style. The mailing list is simply a way to kickstart your muse every once in a while.
To subscribe send an e-mail to 10thmuse-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
