Writing Prompts for October 18, 2009


Roadside
He might have looked cool, but really ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Visit a motorcycle store or go find one on the streets and write about what makes them a symbol of excitement, freedom, and danger.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)

Brock Yates writes, "I admit to wasting my life messing around with fast cars and motorcycles."

INKDrop:

So the question becomes, what are you wasting your life messing around with? After they put you in the box, and they're summing you up at the eulogy, what will they say you loved? What will they say you spent your time on? What will they say was the result of your passions? Is that how you want to be remembered? Explain.

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.
