Writing Prompt 7 – Word of the week is “SHIFT”

Snow. In October? In New York City? Now that’s a SHIFT!

What are you shifting into?  Surprises, new directions, new season, new ways to create?

At some point in any major artistic endeavor, there must be a shift.

Week 7 is a natural time to make a change.

Seven can be a “magical” number. Have you ever used it in your writing? Could you use it this week in your writing? Think of the seven planets, seven days of the week, seven chakras, seven petals of a flower, seven as a holy number in many religions, in ancient Greece and Egypt. Seven is a number often found in fairy tales. Maybe you want to create your own fairy tale? Think of Kate DeCamillo, Donna Jo Napoli and many other writers who have done it so successfully.
