Writing Prompts of the Week
Hello everyone and welcome back to another week of writing prompts. This week will cover monologues, poetry, fanfiction and more. Plus, because many of you have been encouraging me to share some of my work, I decided to publish a sample of my writing as an answer to one of this week’s prompts. I’ve rarely ever shared my work with anyone, so this was quite nerve-racking, but I’m also proud of accomplishing this step and putting myself out there. This said, I won’t keep you waiting. Here are this week’s prompts (and a link to one of my poems!).

The Best Beginner-Friendly Cameras to Spend Your Money On
The forerunner to the photographic camera was the camera obscura. Camera obscura (Latin for "dark room") is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen and forms an inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The oldest known record of this principle is a description by Han Chinese philosopher Mozi (ca. 470 to ca. 391 BC). Mozi correctly asserted that the camera obscura image is inverted because light travels in straight lines from its source. In the 11th century Arab physicist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) wrote very influential books about optics, including experiments with light through a small opening in a darkened room.

How to Choose Right Illustrator- Rks illustrators
Children books are an essential part of every child’s upbringing, and they enjoy reading them or looking at their pictures. It is a fact that the children books intended for the age group below 5 years are mainly dependent upon the illustrations, primarily because kids are more interested in looking at the illustrations, and they have the capacity to imagine things and the pictures which help them imagine things and make them ask questions are a hit with them. Stories do play a very important role for kids above 5 years of age. Illustrations play an important role in all kind of Children’s books. If you ever happen to ask any kid, what you like about a book the most, the reply will be the pictures or the illustrations. If you have done a lot of hard work thinking about the theme of the book and writing it, then you should keep in mind that illustrations will be equally important.

In Honor of Black History Month
Throughout our history it is no secret that the views on race and racism have long been a big issue and topic of controversy. Primarily amongst the black members of our communities. The unfathomable war of racism still rages on to this day, as unfortunate as that fact is. But coming to the end of black history month in 2021, I'd like to show some recognition and love to some of the most beautifully brave, determined, strong, intelligent, talented, compassionate, inspirational and influential souls the world has ever had the pleasure of knowing. As much as I would like to list them all, that would be impossible. So I created a time line going by birth year or year of a relevant event. These are some of the ones that stand out to me. Let’s dive in!
