Lighthouses Through Life Writing Prompts Free PDF
The writing prompt posts on the 15th of each month are for writing groups, quick writes, flash fiction, and class for teachers.
People need "lighthouses" through life in areas such as friendships, mentors, teachers, relatives, and helpers. Let your light shine! Help someone!
“Don’t forget that maybe you are the lighthouse in someone’s storm.” – Unknown
Perhaps an physical lighthouse has helped a ship or boat you were traveling on at some point. Did you know a "daymark" refers to the colors of the lighthouse to help mariners tell the difference between them during daylight? Did you ever wonder why they were different colors or had stripes? I did but I thought people had different ideas at different times in history. This is the link is to the free instant PDF download for this month's prompts.
Have you seen "Up" the movie? One quote from it is
"Adventure is out there."
— Up (Movie)
Simple yet profound. I never thought about hot air balloons finding lighthouses. What else might rely on lighthouses?
Lighthouses themselves take quite a battering during storms, but stand strong. Sometimes a friend who helps us might be experiencing some sort of storm, yet they are able to carry on and help another. Did that ever happen to you?
Did you ever think about how the inside stairway in a lighthouse has the same shape as a nautilus shell? I'm sure you have heard the phrase that progress is not always in a straight line or orderly fashion. Is climbing a stairway like this something that makes you think? If you didn't know what was at the top, what would you think might be there?
What desolate places lighthouses might be, such as this one on top of lots of rocks. Just think of working in such a location, back in the day when a lightkeeper had to keep the fire burning. Now people don't have to live in lighthouses, but can
rent, perhaps.
There are six text prompts, and eight picture prompts. As always, there is a coloring page for any children who might attend writing group with a parent, for whatever reason.
Good luck with your writing! These prompts may be used for quick writes, beginning, ending, or actual full writing pieces depending on where the winds may blow.
Happy day,
The prompts are on Carolyn Howard-Johnson's Sharing with Writers and Readers Blog and post the 15th of each month.
