#im late due to having to spin more writing prompts #i ran out of the ones in my reserve or back-up bank #so i had to spin a few more for the next few days #and that took longer than i would have liked #as for the prompt tho i found it rather interesting #solely because 'anchor's tend to have a positive connotation through grounding or safety or creating a sense of calm #whether they are a literal object 'anchor' or a more metaphorical 'anchor'#but when paired with the word 'hypnotic' the connotation because more eerie (at least imo)#it makes it feel like the 'anchor' is now weighing someone down or holding them back and that the 'anchor' entranced them into that #its something im looking forward to exploring #thanks for reading #writing #writer #creative writing #writing prompt #writeblr #trying to be a writeblr at least #*becomes (not because)
