Today's #creativewritingprompt from #twitch
Instead of focusing on creating a narrative, really settle into the setting and try and make it feel tangible to the reader.

Three cards face up from The Literary Witches Oracle Deck. From left to right Pond, Elixir, AnΓ―s Nin. The writing on the picture says, "Using these cards write a story."
I was running pretty behind today for the #twitch stream so I tried using #theliterarywitchesoracle deck for a prompt. I'm not sure how I like this deck for this purpose. But here's what it says in the guide book for each card.

The text reads: August 21, 2025 Prompt: Write about something (an object, process, norm, place, etc) in an unfamiliar or strange way. The goal is to gain a new perspective and see the world around us differently. If this is too abstract, write from the POV of an alien reporting on a human behavior.
Today's #creativewritingprompt from the #twitch stream. #Defamiliarization is a technique of presenting common things in unfamiliar or strange ways. It frequently gives the reader an eerie or #uncanny feeling.

The upright card is associated with conflict and aggression. And after ending up on the wrong side of TikTok again yesterday I'm struggling with not engaging with idiots, aggressively.
