Day 25

In honor of the awe-inspiring super moon, search for your muse under the stars. Be a night owl or an insomniac for a night and enjoy the stars and the wonderful yellow beams from the super moon.

Challenge: Write an ode or sonnet to the moon. Your pick!

Tip: Go outside and enjoy the night. Experience it like a wine tasting; take it in like a perfectly sunny day. Walk outside (how far away you travel from the safety of your porch is your choice), close your eyes, take a deep breath, and then turn your gaze upwards toward the glorious sky. Stay out as long as you want. Let your thoughts sit for a bit, then go inside, hunker down by a window, and write.

Something New: Because I love the moon and adore reading about it even more, I have a proposition for those who are writing along out there. I'd love to see what these prompts are inspiring. So! You have 48 hours - from now until June 24th at 2.30 AM - to send in your writing responses for this prompt. Send your response to promptaday@gmail.com in the body of the email. Make sure your first name or pseudonym is typed in the first line and write Day 25 as the subject. I'll review the submissions and post my favorite sometime next week. Anything under 4,000 words goes! Well, as long as it's not offensive or terribly graphic. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I'm excited to see what you all are writing!

Ready. Set. Enjoy.
