Happy first day of September!
Here in Australia, it’s the start of spring—my favourite season. In my wider home online, it’s also the beginning of something new: the September Snapshots Prompts Bingo. I created this challenge for two reasons: to keep creating and documenting life, as well as to connect with the wonderful online communities I’m a part of.
The challenge is simple, flexible, and fun. With 30 prompts for 30 days, you’re free to dive in however you like—pick any prompt, in any order, and at your own pace. The prompts are here to inspire and motivate, not restrict. Let them work for you.
Whatever medium you love—writing, photography, journaling, crafts, sketching—bring it into the mix. This is your chance to express yourself, capturing your unique life and style through these creative prompts.
The idea is to help you on days when you sit down and start to write but you’re stuck with the question: “So, what do I post today?”
When that happens, check these prompts and give it your own spin -
Remember, perfection isn’t the goal; meaningful creation is. Whether you choose to share your work or keep it to yourself, take time to reflect on your journey. Let this challenge be a way to document your life, your way - and grow in your creative journey.
Above all, let’s all enjoy the process.
This challenge is meant to spark creativity and connection. So, if you’re joining in, drop a comment or tag me in your posts—I’m excited to see what you create and to cheer you on!
I’ll be sharing my own daily September Snapshots mostly on Threads, with occasional updates on Substack Notes. I also hope to write a wrap-up post at the end of the month here on Substack.
Let’s make this September one to remember—together. Happy documenting and creating!
I had not read this post earlier when I mentioned in a comment on your note that I wrote a short story involving crickets. I came over here to read it after I read your note. So, I am enjoying another synchronistic moment as I've realized that my story checks off several of the bingo boxes. I am going to write up a post tagging you tomorrow talking about how I plan to join in this awesome idea as a creative challenge to help me grow. Thank you so much for this because for the first time, I feel like I'm connected in a substack community, and I feel my heart growing, dreaming up more possibilities than before and that is just magical. 💜🦋
Oh, just to be clear though, I didn't see the whole snapshots thing. I was thinking writing prompts. Do you mind if I sort of weave it into my writing instead?
