In our World, Nothing is Impossible

Today's post comes from Shery Ma Belle Arrieta-Russ, WriteSparks! creator

Write Possibilities
We writers are a powerful lot. We control time. We dictate actions. We control destinies.
We can make two completely opposite people fall in love with each other, and we can create family feuds that can last for centuries.

We can make our heroine travel back in time to rescue her soulmate, and we can give the most villainous person the punishment she deserves.

We can take our characters to the most exotic places and give them their own adventures.
Simply put, we writers can create our own possibilities. In our world, nothing is impossible.
Try creating your own possibilities using the given prompts below.

There are 4 givens: theme, setting, character and key object. Randomly pick 1 from each and use these to start off your piece.

Themes: deception, irony, love lost, infidelity, rejection
Characters: chemist, divorced woman, doctor, teacher, singer
Key objects: yellow bag, pen, knife, shoe, fuse box
Settings: space colony, gym, park, lab, retirement home
Here are a few examples using the above prompts:
  • Write a story about love lost, with a doctor as the main character and a shoe as the key object. Set your story in a park.
  • Write a story about infidelity, with a chemist as the main character and a pen as the key object. Set your story in a gym.
  • Write a story about deception, with a singer as the main character and a yellow bag as the key object. Set your story in a space colony.
  • Write a story about rejection, with a divorced woman as the main character, and a knife as the key object. Set your story in a retirement home.
  • Write a story about irony, with a teacher as the main character and a fuse box as the key object. Set your story in a lab.
  • Mix and match the themes, characters, key objects and settings. You can come up with more than 30 possibilities just using the ones already given.

    Write stories... write your possibilities!

    Embracing Intuition, Mediumship, and the Journey to Holistic Wellness

    In the recent episode of "The Soul's Whisper," we embarked on an enthralling journey through intuition, spirituality, and holistic wellness, led by Krystal Parry, an evidence-based medium and Reiki master. Our conversation meandered through the corridors of personal narratives and the subtle yet powerful messages the universe imparts upon us. As we delved into our own stories and laughed together, we discovered how engaging with our clairvoyant and clairsentient abilities allows us to gracefully traverse the chapters of our lives, fostering a more profound sense of connection. We ventured into the intricate tapestry that interlinks energy work, metaphysical understanding, and the pursuit of a holistic lifestyle. Krystal Parry illuminated our understanding of Reiki, aligning it with our body's energetic pathways. We pondered the crossroads where spirituality meets the empirical, touching upon the intriguing realms of quantum mechanics and cell biology. Our discourse ve...
