Okay, so it’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything. Somewhere along the line of the beginning of this year even my Wednesday Words Reborn prompt series got swept under the rug. I kept telling myself I would start again the first Wednesday of the new month.

And the next month…

And the month after that…

And another…

That clearly never happened.

The whole reason I started this series–to honor P. T. Wyant, my friend and mentor, who passed unexpectedly in September 2024–is coming up on a two-year death anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been that long already. It feels like yesterday. I started this series around Samhain 2024. I shocked myself when I kept it going for over a year. Until… Well, you see from above here. It seems fitting that I try to revive it with this date creeping up again. I did enjoy hosting it, but it had some kinks to work out as well.

P. T. kept her prompts simple. Lines. Photos. Groups of things to include. Nothing special. I mostly followed that lead but started adding on some of my own spins. Genre prompts. Settings. Weird news. I kept things just as simple because I was new to this hosting prompt thing and I also only had so many spoons to dish out in getting weeks’ worth of prompts and blog posts ready and scheduled. Not to mention the extra time of sharing said posts across my socials to try and draw some attention. It’s more work than you think, and it could be taxing in its own way.

Admittedly, the weird news prompts were total flops, I think, so they aren’t likely to continue. I’ll probably turn those ones into something else if I can find a creative way to do so. Photo and line prompts are by far the most popular I saw. I have some ideas for other prompts, like mad lib style prompts. Or finish the sentence kinds of prompts. I’m going to try a new format when sharing to my social media pages as well. The second whole point to this series was to make consistent content that drove people to my website and my socials after all, even though I hardly got much engagement at all on these. Someone in my writing group recommended giving teasers on the socials, inviting them to come to the blog to get the full prompt. Initially, I disliked the idea. That’s making things more complicated for a girl who already doesn’t have a lot of spoons to dish out. I came to understand her reasoning though. People on socials don’t want to follow links to blogs to get the tea. They want fast and ready. So, I’ve decided her idea is worth playing around with. It’s going to limit my array of prompts because some things just can’t be teased though.

Anyways, a long story short, I came here to update that I’m still alive. Life has just been life-ing pretty hard this year. I plan to raise #WWReborn from the grave starting in October, with some new twists if you follow my socials. Y’all who get my prompts directly from the blog aren’t likely to see the teasers I’m going to try to implement. (I mean, unless you want to go follow me on Twitter, Bluesky, or Facebook. By all means, the more the merrier!)

I did, however, want to pose one question: What prompts do you like to see most? What prompts engage you the most? Drop me your responses in the comments. I’m open to all feedback here.
