WritingMyHeart: writers

Showing posts with label writers. Show all posts

Hello!

There is one thing I really miss about University and that is being amongst other writers. Cheering each other on, sharing each other’s work and hearing different voices. I have decided I would like to have that back, create something other writers can be inspired by or share their thoughts on. I have decided to create a monthly writing prompt, not only for myself but for you to take part in. At the beginning of every month, the first Monday, I will post the writing prompt. I too will respond to the writing prompt and share it on the last Friday of the month.

I have created a page for this project: WritingMyPrompt. With your permission I will post your submission, this way you can showcase what you’ve written and others can enjoy it too! I know so many brilliant writers and not all of them have a writing platform so creating this project I hope they can get their voices heard. This is open to anyone and everyone! No restrictions.

The very first post on the new page has submission guidelines as well as a little welcome message, feel free to click the previous link to have a look. Prompts will also be posted on that page as a reminder and so you can have access to it any time.

Each submission will have its own post on the WritingMyPrompt Page, I’ll too be adding my response to the prompt. If you have an idea or concept you would like to suggest please let me know I’ll add it to my prompt jar.

All I ask if you are submitting is the title of your piece, your pronouns, the name you would like to use and social media @ for people to perhaps reach you. I have set up an email for submissions: writingmyprompts@gmail.com

If you would like to share this project or want to talk about it please use the hashtag #WritingMyPrompt!

WritingMyPrompt: July - "Even cacti can grow in the desert"

"Even cacti can grow in the desert"

I asked for suggestions and themes over on my Instagram and this was the first prompt suggestion and even though I had something different planned I knew this was the one. I hope it inspires you just as it has me!

Your piece can be a piece of fiction/non-fiction, prose or poetry. Any format is welcome. Be as creative as you can, I cannot wait to read your submissions!

Hiya!

This week's blog post is a little different from the usual, I have written about Funkos in the past in my blog post A Growing Collection. In that post I mentioned having about 50 and that was in February of 2020, a whole year and a bit later and I have 253. If you are interested in seeing them closely I do have an Instagram & Tik Tok dedicated to my Funkos: @DollysFunkosYou may have noticed these figures appear in some of my photos.

I adore collecting these figures and despite Funko continuously releasing new characters I feel like there is still something missing. Some people missing. I purchased this Pop of the writer: Jane Austen. She is one of my favourites. Pictured to the right. She is really cool, I love having her in my collection. As I look at her most days I cannot help but wish for more writers to be released. There is such a huge market for them amongst the Funko community, So far they have released Jane Austen. Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King. All brilliant writers and I do hope to be adding them to my collection very soon. I do think there should be more Funko Pops of writers made.

I have created a shortlist of people I think they should make into a pop vinyl next:

William Shakespeare
Emily Dickinson
Charles Dickens
Maya Angelou
Oscar Wilde
Harper Lee
Lord Alfred Tennyson

These are only a handful of influential writer's in the world, there are so many famous amazing writers that could be added to the list and potential collection. If I could choose only one from the list it would have to be William Shakespeare. The writing legend, the most famous writer in the world. I am tempted to try and order a custom of him from an independent artist, he would look amazing on my bookshelf. Funko if you see this please take the hint. If you could have a Funko Pop made of anyone in the world, real or not, who would it be?

It is national Poetry day, I thought about posting one of my own poems but I decided on sharing one of my all time favourite poems. Robert Browning - The Laboratory. Something about this poem draws me in, I study it a few years ago and instantly fell in love with it. I thought about poetry reading or doing poetry revision notes on Youtube, I may in the future.
