Writing Prompts for October 15, 2009


Odd Companions
Gawd these guys are driving me crazy, she thought, as she ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

You've seen it a million times. Do it again. Go rent Wizard of Oz with the plan to write another part of the story. At least two successful Broadway shows have begun this way; why not you?

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)

"Ding dong the witch is dead."

INKDrop:

Dorothy's house kills one of the wicked witches. Today you should muse about a moral dilemma. Does it make sense to you to eliminate evil in the world by killing it off? You're going to have terrible things happen to your characters; where do you stand on violence against the evil in them?

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.
