What if literature wasn’t just a collection of books, but an entire universe?
Welcome to Litfinity—the boundless, ever-expanding cosmos of storytelling, where every genre is a planet, every poem a star, and every narrative a force that fuels the galaxy. This is the kind of imaginative spark you’ll find in the latest issue of the NewPages newsletter—alongside fresh literary magazine issues, submission opportunities, book reviews, and indie bookstore news.
✍️ This Week’s Inspiration Prompt: To Litfinity & Beyond!
(Picture Buzz Lightyear, book in hand, shouting this new catchphrase as he rockets into the literary unknown.)
In this prompt, you’re a Litronaut, tasked with restoring balance to the universe after the mysterious darkening of the Library Nebula—the heart of Litfinity. Your journey will take you across genre-planets like:
- Melancholia – a world powered by poetry and emotion
- Chronotex – a tech-charged sci-fi realm pulsing with innovation
- Mythara – floating isles woven from fantasy and myth
But what caused the nebula to go dark? Is there a villain lurking in the shadows of forgotten stories? Could you uncover a lost genre—one that reshapes the very fabric of Litfinity?
Optional twist: Include excerpts from fictional books or poems you discover along the way. Bonus points if you invent a new genre-planet entirely!
🎨 Art Prompt: The Library Nebula
For the visually inclined, this week’s art prompt invites you to illustrate the Library Nebula—a swirling galaxy of books, scrolls, and glowing ink. Imagine a ship powered by metaphors and similes, navigating constellations shaped like punctuation marks. Think:
- Vellum clouds
- Ink-splatter stars
- Parchment rings
- Genre-themed color palettes
Or take it further and illustrate one of the genre-planets. What does Chronotex look like? How does Mythara shimmer with fantasy magic?
