There are only a few days left before Create30 November 2018 creative challenge officially begins. As promised, I have created several individual prompts for the challenge. Each set is based around a specific topic or creative area. You don’t have to stick with just one prompt for the entire challenge. You can letter some days, journal some days, and doodle the rest of the time. Feel free to mix and match or use them for a different creative purpose. For example, you can use the doodle / watercolor prompts with a different medium like pastels or acrylic paint.
Each prompt set also has its own corresponding hashtags that you can use on social media. You can make up your own by adding your preferred creative medium to the end of #create30 (ex. #create30ink). Also, remember to tag me @ablissfullemon so I can share your work!
You may notice that I chose not to include any specific blogging prompts at this time. I really thought about it and spent several hours coming up with a few different ideas. I’ll share them in another post, similar to the 50 Blog Post Ideas from last year. I encourage you to only blog about things that you or your readers are interested in. Random blogging for the sake of a challenge, no matter how enticing, is not helpful to anyone. If you have a personal blog, you can certainly use any of the creative writing or journal prompts to guide you each day. Otherwise, look out for the next post when I will share the list of blog ideas, broken up by topic.
If you are planning to join in, snag any of the prompts below to share them on social media. ❤
