Writing Prompt - September 2025

For many, inspiration doesn't simply arrive; we need to actively seek and be able to recognize it. It can be mined from everyday observations, excavated from exceptional experiences, derived from other works of art. The enjoyment of being a writer is balanced with the challenge of constantly pursuing inspiration, fighting the low points of writer's block when creative fulfillment becomes a needy ache. It is a solitary struggle only the writer themself can overcome.

Where do you find inspiration for your writing?
