Prompt & Link: “Empowered”

9:00 AM Friday morning, February 29th, 2008, on the U.S. west coast, is quickly approaching — so… here I am with a new Prompt!

This week’s, and the twenty fourth Writer’s Island prompt is: “Empowered”.

As always, I don’t want to unduly influence your interpretation of this week’s prompt. Simply reflect on “Empowered” — then please share with us what that inspires in you. Move us with your words!

••> This week, for our second bit of inspiration, we turn to the new movie release, The Other Boleyn Girl, as the source of our second ever ‘Matinee Muse’ prompt — and the prompt it inspires is: “Rivalry”. See if that sparks anything for you.

As I wrote last week regarding this ‘extra’ weekly prompt; if we respond to these ‘Matinee Muse’ prompts — they may become a regular weekly offering. <••

Feel free to use either, or both, of this week’s prompts — or use neither if you so choose. Whatever moves your soul this week is what we all want to read.

So, create your poem, prose, short story, essay, commentary, or whatever — and post it on your blog. Feel free to include recordings of you reading your work — and any photo, artwork, or graphic representation you feel is relevant.

When you have finished your piece, please return here to this post and place your link to your work as a comment — and as you know, just the link, not the piece.

Please realize there is no need to rush, this post will be open to receive your links for the entire week, leading up to the next prompt.

May you this week, and every week, find your muse most empowering! We can’t wait to see what you write…
