Theme for Oct 23/29: Returns
As this prompt returns after a brief pause, I'm reminded of the ways we come back to certain threads as we write. This week, use the concept of repeating, be it conceptual or literal, to fuel your words.

Naught can be gay anymore,
In this world with many
A fascist-filled shore
All is but hatred and all
Is but war.
One stanza of a poem I am writing now. Not yet sure which way it will go.
Started this for this week's #QuillsQuest
Two mages climbed a mountain.
Just as they reached the summit, they saw a curious creature.
"What a queer being, isn't it?" said one of them.
"Very queer, indeed!" replied the other. "Is it a flying lizzard?"
"It looks like a Hydra..."
"Oh, I remember! Isn't this queer monster a dragon?"
"Oh, yes! That's it! Wow. Cool!"
At this moment, the mages started to panic, because the dragon came out of a cloud, diving down towards them.
Their eyes were ablaze.
"How dare you deciding whether an individual is queer or not!? That is not up to you. Let everyone decide for themselves whether they are queer or not! Foul monsters!"
"But, but... O mighty monste.. I mean, dragon.." stammered the first mage, "We... we..."
"We merely said that you are a curious creature!" finished the second one.
For a short moment, the dragon was confused. Soon it dawned upon them...
"Ugh. You all should really update your vocabulary. Nobody uses 'queer' in that way anymore! Now, please leave me, and stop using that archaic nonsense!"
#MicroFiction, not really a #TootFic anymore, I am affraid... #SmallStories

@WordyCurator @penprompts I am writing a historical fiction piece about an English immigrant woman first experiencing #NewZealand - Annie Jane Schnackenberg. As I tried to imagine her emotional state while she first navigated life among Māori in the Waikato region in the 1860s, I drew from my own memories, re-living my own life when I first felt culture shocks hit during my first month as an ex-pat teaching in rural Zimbabwe. #QuillsQuest, a weekly #writing #prompt
On the heels of today's #QuillsQuest comes a question: Is there something you'd like to see differently about these prompts? In the past few weeks I've seen several shares but not a lot of responses--and that's totally fine. This is a busy time of year for many, and there's never any obligation to participate. Still, I thought I'd check in and make sure it was busyness and not something I could shift to make them more intriguing/approachable/inspiring etc.

Theme for Sept 5/10: History
Personally and collectively, we carry pasts, and they often twine themselves deeply into how people read and #write. This week, see what this concept might gift to your open page. What will your future hold?

This week's #quillsquest is about Puzzle Pieces, using creativity as a building block throughout.
I didn't realize how long I held my breath until I fully pictured her face. Now staring directly into her forest green eyes - the trouble of her villainous past comes to the surface and screams justifications for her atrocities
Her painful riddled face demands acknowledgement for justice denied. "You created me," she yells into the void, "And you dare kill me?"

Theme for Aug 28- Sept 3: Puzzle Pieces
No work is assembled from nothing, words, experiences and people always serving as building blocks. Let those raw elements of your craft inspire you this week. How do you build? Of what pieces?

This week's #QuillsQuest is "Taking a Break"
The drive was there, but exhaustion found its time to pounce. Harry's hands froze on the keyboard, forcing him to see he was stalling with excuses - but there was only one; he was tired.
"One week," he promised himself. "But when?"
Harry hoped the screen in front would give some guidance. All it would offer him was a taunting silence. He took a deep breath, saved his work, and walked away. "Now," he exhaled.
#QuillsQuest August 21-27: taking a break
As someone with chronic illness, I think about this a lot. I have to take breaks often and productivity is nonexistent for me sometimes 
I know taking a break is important but I wish I could do more.

Theme for Aug 21-27: Taking a Break
Sometimes we fight for the words, but sometimes, the best course of action is to take a little pause. This week, center such pauses--how do they feel? What is it like to decide to slow down?

Oh boy, I had a plenty of writer's blocks! I remember how I felt when I was dealing with it when writing out the story for my narrative comics, especially current project (Piper's Treehouse). Sometimes, I just took breaks from writing and do something else, such as fishing.
wanted to try this weeks #QuillsQuest !
it was fun! im not a very experienced writer, but wanting to get more practice as i can 
the theme was Writer's Block, so i wrote a quick scene about a character going through it
(proper alt text will be in the replies bc its too long for the image it seems
