Every day on my Idealog account on Bluesky - except for the days I forget - I share a quick creative idea and archive the month's list here on the last day.

  1. Create some writing prompts for yourself or others.
  2. Choose a random photograph and write a short story, poem, or other descriptive piece inspired by it.
  3. (missed)
  4. Pick a favourite recipe and change one ingredient.
  5. Choose an image. Tell a story.
  6. The 10 things you’d take to a desert island.
  7. Write a poem that uses alliteration in every line.
  8. Create a poster for a cause you support.
  9. Create a sculpture using old jewellery pieces.
  10. Use a random text generator to create a prompt. Tell a story.
  11. Learn to weave or knot a rug.
  12. Make a list of favourite song lyrics. Bonus fun if you arrange just those lyrics into a whole new verse of their own.
  13. Make up a list for your go bag, including the fun things.
  14. Plan a solo picnic in a place you enjoy.

  26. Take yourself on a solo reading date in a local botanical garden or park.
  27. Visit a local museum or gallery you’ve never been to before.
  28. Start and keep a list of any random questions that come to you. Spend a day once in a while looking up the answers.
  29. (missed)
  30. If you go out of town, send yourself a postcard from where you went - even if you just went one town over to do groceries.
  31. Make a landscape using only images cut from magazines and newspapers.
