Players Say...
“Simple, provocative, and helpful, Connie Frey’s little deck of creative
prompts provides a stepping stone into writing, whenever we want, wherever
we are. I keep a set in a tiny bowl on my desk and draw on them for spontaneous
inspiration. Also great fun to use in groups, everyone drawing a card, or
everyone writing on the same prompt.” ~ Christina
Baldwin (author of Storycatcher and other titles) at http://www.storycatcher.net/
“FAME cards inspire me in my work as a freelance writer, stirring up sluggish thought processes and inviting me to trailblaze when I've run out of creative ways to express myself. I pull the cards as needed but have also picked a ‘card of the year’ on January 1 annually for the last five years. ‘Go to the closet, create a costume and come out writing’ is this year's selection, and it has succeeded time and again in generating fresh ideas when I’ve written myself into a dull gray corner.” ~ Jeffrey Bateman, writer/editor
“They were a wonderful catalyst in my work! The group took on a sense of fun, which is something that tends to be lacking with this population at this stage of sobriety. I love bringing out the talents and treasures from individuals who are so beaten down. It provides a wonderful sense of empowerment.” ~ Certified Addictions RN
“When I get ‘stuck’ in my writing, the cards that suggest physical movement help me loosen up and come at it from a fresh perspective.” ~ Marlene Grand Maitre (poet in two anthologies, Breaking the Surface and Mocambo Nights, and numerous journals)
“I pull a card from the deck and use it to guide and inspire my dancing.” ~ Todd Wilson, dancer
“They’re a handy, pocket-sized tool. I carry them to the beach or on my hike, along with my fold-up watercolours. The size allows me to have them on my person, when I need them, rather than sitting on a shelf at home. The cards refresh my brain. They’re very personal and work like the mirror does for my painting. They turn things topsy-turvy by shaking my perspective up. No one can give me that view of myself, or my creativity, except me.” ~ Linda Macfarlane, artist
“I like the surprises each card offers. Each one set me on a path right away. The excitement of the FAME deck is like opening a new gift each time.” ~ Travel writer in process of becoming a novelist
“I was dubious at first, but after having them around for a while, working with some of them and having so much fun, I now view them as a reward: ‘Oh man, if I get enough done then I can pick one of these cards!’ No expectations, no demands – that was an important thing for me!” ~ Academic and nonfiction writer
“In the morning I pull one card from the FAME deck and use it to get into my writing. I loved the card that read “Interact with any concrete aspect...” I thought about it for a second, then danced with the wall! Wow, what creative fun! Thank you for these gems of inspiration.” ~ Christine Terry, writer
