walk in your mind
writing prompt for visual storytelling
2025, November 12
lately i’ve been playing with this prompt that feels like going on a walk without leaving my chair. every time i use it, whole yummy worlds start popping up behind my eyes. it’s a relaxing way of daydreaming on paper — and seeing where the path leads.
writing prompt: walk in your mind
set your timer for 9 minutes. this is your writing time.
take a walk in your mind.
it can be a real route you love — along a river, through a park, across a city street — or a completely imagined one, like a path through a dream forest, a floating island, or your own private schlaraffenland.
let the walk unfold as you write.
notice what appears around you — what you see, hear, smell, touch, or taste in the air.
what kind of ground are you walking on?
who or what crosses your way?
what thoughts move through you as you keep walking?
don’t plan the route.
just let the path reveal itself line by line.
(if you’re writing fiction, let your character be the one responding — through their own senses and thoughts.)
