Hi! My name is Toni and this is my blog on writing prompts. Sometimes inspiration strikes me anywhere, sometimes I badly need a jumpstart. This blog helps with those jumpstarts, when you need a little push. Hopefully the writing prompts open your mind further to new ideas and help encourage you into writing more. A little writing help never hurt!
How does this image make you feel?



It makes me feel sad. It reminds me of unfulfilled wishes. I guess this image could portray hope, but I choose the more melodramatic interpretation. That's only because I feel some of my wishes just get lost in the wind.

What city fascinates you?

January 16th 2010 07:13
It's all about New York for me. I like the city so much and I've never even gone there. I enjoy reading about its diversity. I enjoy reading about its many neighborhoods. I enjoy reading about the many food haunts. I enjoy reading about what makes it different from other cities.



New York City holds a certain mystique for me. I hope that I get to find out in this lifetime what the fuss about New York is all about.
