Okay, friends, here is a thing I’m going to do:
I own a largeish collection of tarot decks. Like, kind of an absurd number of tarot decks, both traditional and not. Every Tuesday (morning, assuming I have my shit together), I will pick a card from one of the decks and take a picture of it plus a small random item I find lying around my house; I will post the picture on Instagram.
Using the card + item as prompts, I encourage you to write a flash fiction before the weekend. You do not have to share it. If you do share it, post it someplace — your own blog or social media, in the comments here, wherever — on Saturday or Sunday. (But I repeat, you do not have to share it. This can be a scribbly personal exercise, a brain warm-up just for you, whatever.)
I will tag the pictures on Instagram #tuesdaytarotprompt, so you should be able to find them readily if you miss one.
I like flash prompts and this sounds like fun. I posted it on my blog:

Warning: my posts are long and rambling. Them who don’t care to read the associated dribble, here’s the Google Doc link to just the flash piece:

One quick question . . . how does one subscribe to this blog? Specifically, an e-mail subscription (I don’t use the reader).
I admit to not being the most savvy of WordPress users, but I think that if you’re signed out of your own WP account, when you click the Follow button it will prompt you for an email address.
I don’t see a follow button or a subscribe option. Normally, they have to be switched on either as a widget on the sideboard or as an option when one leaves a comment.
However, I’m not an expert either, and it could be the theme you are using does not have those options.
Are you planning on providing the prompt here as well as at Instagram, of just there?
By the way, FYI, VP XIX graduate here. I came across your prompt by way of another VP grad.
