Nine of Wands

I'm going to be posting daily prompts to inspire writing, art or journaling. Use these as you would like to help keep your creative practices moving.

Key words/ideas:

• success in the face of adversity

• anticipation

• letting go

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• Start a story at the end and write about how the characters move on from their experiences. They may anticipate peace, but is peace really what they want? And is it a life they can live?

• A character who is a defender placed in a situation where their defence is unwelcome.

• A character has successfully defeated the big bad and now everyone is suddenly looking to them in that moment. How do they respond?

• After the death of the hero, the mentor is unable to let go and move on. What do they do?

Note that cards are drawn at random and may be drawn more than once. In that case I will repost with an additional idea. I am going to cap the number of repeats at 3 until I’ve been through the whole deck, but other than this I let the luck of the draw decide. Coming up with more ideas for the same card will force me to be more imaginative and its something I strongly recommend.
