100 Days of Writing Prompts

The Little Book of Writing Prompts and Ideas

Getting Started with this book You will need a quiet place in which to write. One that suits your contemplative mood. Have your writing space cleansed and prepared to have some time for your sacred thinking space. A place in which you will not be disturbed. You may use sage, sweetgrass, a singing bowl, or a bell to cleanse the area first before you begin.

A little bit about Eva I have been a member of the amazing CCOR website for a few years and in that sacred space we work on making each 100 days of our life count. We find ways to actively co-create something meaningful and beautiful. As a writer and creative muse I want to create things to share with my readers and help them to enjoy their life and their writing to the fullest.

Please accept my gift of this book of 100 days of writing prompts as a way of connecting us and our hearts with the world. The world needs more beauty and art.

If we perceived Life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical Life and walk the Earth in a very deep sense of gratitude. ~Gary Zukav
