3 Heart-Pumping Romantasy Writing Prompts for WritersErik Patterson
A professional kitchen with a close up a chef's tattooed hands sprinkling something on top of a plate of fresh greens, crispy skin salmon, and an orange sauce. There are knives in the foreground, and the chef is wearing a black apron and white chef's coat.

Guardian of the SmallMoriah Richard
A vending machine lit up to display sodas, waters, and various candy bars. Everything around the machine is totally black, giving it a mystical glow.
Mystical Vending MachineMoriah Richard
The foreground is filled with hands being raised, and in the background above the hands on a stage is an out-of-focus person with both fists held up in the air.
The Opposite of Stage FrightMoriah Richard
An illustration of a parrot's head, facing left in profile, against a plain, light background. The parrot has vibrant red feathers on its head, with some white and light grey plumage around its eye and lower face. It has a large, curved, dark grey beak with a lighter, almost bone-colored upper mandible. Its eye is orange with a dark pupil. The feathers appear textured with individual brushstrokes.
The IllustratorMoriah Richard
An old, severely rusted and weathered Jeep-like vehicle sits abandoned in a dense forest. The vehicle is a mix of faded red and peeling white paint, with visible rust covering much of its body. It has a single yellow light on its roof and round headlights on the front. Tall, slender green trees with sparse foliage fill the background, suggesting a misty or damp environment, and the ground is covered in lush green ferns and undergrowth.
The Abandoned TruckMoriah Richard
A silhouette of a deer stands in a field of tall grass, backlit by a vibrant golden sunset. The sun's intense light creates a strong orange glow across the entire scene, especially illuminating the grasses in the foreground and background. Bare tree branches are visible as dark silhouettes on the sides of the frame.
