muse ariadne

welcome to muse ariadne-- a digital writing club created by xalli! each week, i'll post a new prompt for members to write anything they'd like in response to and post on their personal websites. if you can't make it to every week, that's totally alright-- this is low pressure. we encourage regular participation, but the joy of this club is to inspire creativity and a reasonable amount of accountability [whatever that means to you].

if you're curious, the reasoning behind the name of this club is based in the myth of ariadne and how she helped theseus defeat the minotaur and escape its labyrinth by offering him a ball of red thread which he could unroll as he wandered through and then follow back out again. writing is often just that-- offering the reader a ball of thread, and asking them to explore what they must. maybe it's even offering yourself that.

currrent prompt: explore on the softness & blurring of edges—dawn/dusk, the place between sleep and wakefulness, transitions from youthfulness to adulthood and adulthood to old age. what do those borders & changes feel like, look like, smell like?
