@Joshua-Chennault and @skeletortoise thanks for sharing what you're working on! Its super inspiring to see. Im still struggling with the prompt and prompt burnout from last month lol… the ideas i came up with at the beginning of april feel like too much work….. and so im back to the drawing board looking for something simple to do.
So here are some of the most interesting water related stories i found on pinterest

Lee shared “THE 5 story motivations”on a pod a while ago (ive lost where i wrote them down and have been going crazy trying to find the ep) but the ones i remembered were
To escape
to rescue
to win
(to explore maybe?)
(no clue what it might be)
It seems like escape and rescue are very common for these sea mythical creature stories.
Here are other interesting, less story driven pieces i found, that felt really unique

Ive been hyper focusing on the “underwater” part so i thought i would brainstorm some around the “living” part.
Living = eat, sleep, move, family/relationships
How do you get food underwater?
Where would you sleep underwater?
Why would you move?
How can i translate a moment in a relationship from my world into this other world?
This last question felt the least stressful and probably most promising of all theses, so i thought of some relationship and moments—maybe you can translate a moment from your recent life into the underwater prompt! There is still time for you and me to participate.
parent—young child : kids running out the door to school, one has to rush back for his backpack
young child—young child:
young child—adolescent: adolescent watching over and helping young child play
parent to parent: husband brings pregnant wife food
*sisters, brothers, friends, student/teacher, youth/grandparents
I think there is real power in simple moments in relationships—while they aren't always complete stories they are very relatable and probably make good portfolio pieces
