Writing Prompts for October 14, 2009


Open 24/7
I'll just ride my scooter down to the liquor store since ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go for a drive late at night and pay particular attention to the lighting and the signs. What different impressions do you have of your neighborhood in the dark rather than the day?

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)

Frank Langella wrote, "Each of us needs something, food, liquor, pot, whatever, to help us survive. Dracula needs blood."

INKDrop:

What do you need? Look around you and make a list of what you absolutely couldn't live without. Then spend some time thinking about what that means about you.

Connect:
Join Second Life (it's free) and check out the INKsters group there for more virtual inspiration and literary camaraderie. NaNoWriMo is coming!! Go sign up! (It's free too, except it will take your soul).

Competition idea: Grab a literate friend or two, agree on the topic today, and write. Maybe 1000 characters (fits in your cell phone notepad), or 500 words (our gold standard), or longer. Then share your work with somebody and ask them to select their favorite effort from today. You might be surprised how much you love winning (or hate losing).

And stop by our old home page and see if we've managed to catch up.
