Today, write about (figurative) spinning plates.

You get the idea.
As with any of these writing prompts, an option always available to you is to write the central theme in the center of a page then using the “starburst” technique in which you branch ancillary ideas out from the central theme to generate a whole slew of things off of the one main theme. Give it a try. (It also works really well with topics you’ve written a lot about already, as a mechanism by which to further the conversation about it.) Let’s go.
