This is a collaborative project to give MWG writers a chance to flex their creative muscles. Come, step into the Muse’s Playground, where creativity swings high and the only rule is to let your imagination run wild!
The idea is fairly simple; the first participant creates something in response to the Muse’s prompt. The participant can write a story or poem, but we all know the Muse can be tricky and lead us in unexpected directions. Maybe the prompt reminds the responder of a favorite dish, so they make the meal (or cake!) and snap a few photos to submit.
The first response then goes to the next participant as the new prompt. We repeat the process until all participants have responded. We are curious to see how a single spark of inspiration ignites a chain reaction of creativity, transforming from written words to photographs to culinary creations and beyond!
Our First Project
🎨 Creative Telephone: A Spiral of Stories
Follow the Muse’s spark as it winds through story, poem, image, and reflection. The image below is interactive. Hover your mouse over the spiral to reveal and explore each creative response.
For readers who prefer browsing in list view, see below. Each post also links to the next response at the bottom of the page, so you can follow the chain that way if you’d like.
