A Creative Writing Experiment & Treasure Hunt

Welcome to a Wonder-Gizmos Creative Experiment & Treasure Hunt! This place-based, interactive experiment brings folks from all over Missoula into whimsical community and, if all goes to plan, a zine! This adventure is for photographers, artists, writers, cartoonists, dreamers, doodlers, and the plain ol' bored.

Please submit your responses to these prompts through my Contact Form above, with your pen name and expressed permission, or aversion, to being included in a zine. Visual artists: please keep your designs to 8.5 by 5.5" (about a piece of paper folded in half). Writers, try to cap it at 1,000 words. If you have an idea and want to get experimental with the form, let's figure it out--reach out to me! I plan to create a color file that can be shared digitally and printed at home, and print black and white copies. Also, please send me your mailing address, if you'd like a copy.

Posters are tucked all over town. I hope you collect all the prompts and have a wonderful time boppin' around Missoula in the process! If you just want to send me your writing, I'd love that. Finally, there's no pressure to publish.

If you'd like to receive monthly creative writing prompts, please sign up for my Patreon through Instagram @taylor_stein__ or the link above.

The Moon & The Sea

On March 21st, 2026, I performed an original shadow puppet show that I wrote and created with my friend, KRad of Sabertooth Studio. More info on the show is available on my Substack.

"You see, if Penny had never loved the moon, she never would have met Daisy Mae, and if Daisy Mae hadn’t loved the sea, well, they probably wouldn’t have met, either.

All that time that Penny had felt so out of place, she’d been exactly where she was supposed to be, and it’d led her to Daisy Mae."
