Ink Out is your creative space. Take a notebook, pull out your computer, scribble on a napkin at lunch… it doesn’t matter! These 10 minutes belong to you. Every Thursday we post a new prompt for you to interpret as you want.
The format is yours as well! Write a poem, a short story, reminisce a memory, use the prompt in your current writing project… some weeks inspiration may come in the form of drawing instead. Ink Out is yours to do with as you please.
Like what you wrote? Post it in the comments to share with everyone! Or if you post it on your own blog, leave the link below. Don’t want to share? That’s fine too (BUT WE REALLY LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO:)
Cheers, Casey and Larissa

This is more of a journal entry, but it’s what came out today. 🙂
“Sometimes I feel like I am 2 years late in life.
I essentially took a year off before going to college, so I graduate a year “late.” I worked another year before going to grad school. I just got married in August at 27, he 29 – the last of most of our friends.
Growing up, I played on soccer teams and swam competitively for years, then finally found my way to dance classes. Five years later, I was taking 6 classes and had 1–2 rehearsals per week. Even then, I started “real” dance classes too late. I’ve always been naturally talented and even still have a LOVE for the art, but at age 12, I had to work very hard for the flexibility and strength required.
In the area of fitness… read the last paragraph. Once in college, where I took 16–18 credits and worked at least 2 jobs every single semester, I had no idea how to stay healthy on my own. I’d always been so active that I never learned… and I certainly didn’t have the time to learn then!
Once graduated, I made significant changes, lost some weight, started running, read books, and all around became much healthier. Finally. I’m still annoyed that it took that long.
I have to regularly return to my two favorite mantras:
– This is about the journey, not just the destination.
– Moving forward is easier than starting over.
I may not be where I want to be, I may feel behind in life… but I’m certainly NOT starting over. It’s never too late, right?”
