Letting Go of Logic
Get ready to let your hair down and have some fun with creativity! 🤪 In this week’s episode of Prompted!, I’m diving into the world of absurdity—and exploring how embracing the ridiculous can unlock your creative potential. 🎉
Join me as we talk about why absurdity often gets a bad rap in writing, but is actually a key to crafting unique, surprising, and enjoyable stories. Plus, I’ll share my own micro-fiction pieces that lean into the absurd, some of my original poetry which might not be as ridiculous, but still worth exploring! 📝
Here are a few takeaways from this episode:

- Why writing about the absurd is often more liberating: Explore how writing about the absurd can free you from traditional storytelling constraints and give you permission to be weird.
- Learn some elements of absurdist writing that can add surprise to your story: Explore illogical logic, surrealism, anti-naturalism, non sequiturs, and deadpan humor – and find out how these techniques can create unforgettable stories.
