Today's #NaPoWriMo prompt comes from Cherry Potts, and asks you to write about the things that bring you joy. Cherry runs Arachne Press, one of over 70 organisations that have a stall at the Free Verse Fair this year. Come along this Saturday to meet them! FREE tickets at the link in our bio.

A white square with the words NaPoWriMo 2026 in black in the top left hand corner. In top right hand corner is an image of a pink firework with a white centre, featuring the words Prompt 21. In the middle of the image is a large yellow firework. Overlaid on top of this is black text with a yellow background reading “Think about a journey of some kind - literal or metaphorical - that has given you joy, and write seriously about joy with as much passion and purpose as you would for the things that give you grief. It may be that arriving at this joy comes suddenly or unexpectedly and not from an aspired-for goal.” In the bottom left hand corner is a blue firework, and in the bottom right hand corner is the name Cherry Potts.
