Awesome! Thanks for the info Malak!Getting stuck? Need another idea or simply want to see if any prompt could be used to get you out of your current mental block?
I've done a small search and found some sites that might help you narrow down some ideas. I'm sure you'll run into the same prompts over and over again while searching through these sites but maybe one of them will open up an idea for your or even offer you something else while perusing their site.

An acquaintance of mine published her book via patreon, so I am leaving here an interview of her, if anyone has thoughts of doing self publishing and is interested in reading about it.https://www.patreon.com/posts/intervi...
Wow. Neil Gaiman. I'd be interested in continuing to take additional courses with other GODS once they complete their courser class. Just keep me in mind.
Awesome! I just had 3 busy weeks and had to take a break from the Coursera course but I'd love to try the Neig Gaiman course after I'm done. wow!

It's a paid course but I found it worthwhile. Having a peek inside the man's creative process was in itself inspiring and I found his advice quite liberating creatively.
There is another course in creative writing offered on coursera as well.https://www.coursera.org/specializati...

For example, if you're writing about the middle ages and are struggling about finding the information you could write here. If you know a good website to research better about things like how life was during the french revolution, middles ages, pharaohs times etc you can share it as well!
Hope this will be useful, and good luck to everyone !
