Imagine Nation Brewing

Creative Prompt: When you leave Imagine today, make time for that thing you love to do but never get around to actually doing. This is your permission!

Next, take a picture of that happy place or activity, then print it out or draw a doodle, and write a small description of what you love about it on the back. Date it. The next time you're here, slip in into one of the books on our shelves for someone to find.

If you'd like to submit your work to our community, anthology zine, please send it to me with your pen name through my Contact Form. You can request my address there, if you'd like to send hard copies.


Please tag me if you post your work to Instagram, I'd be so happy to see it and share it. My handle is @taylor_stein__


The Creative Experiment & Treasure Hunt was cooked up by Taylor Stein. If you enjoyed this prompt and would like more creative goodness in your life, please check out Wonder-Gizmos, a Snail Mail Creative Writing Club & Whimsy Machine. Every month, Wonder-Gizmos delivers writing prompts, curated inspiration, and warm absurdity to your mailbox.
