Writing Prompts for October 2, 2009


C'mon In!
Hiring a trumpeter to announce her arrival seemed ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:
Find the nearest public work of art and describe it.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Woody Allen said, "If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative."

INKDrop:
Try writing something today that is innovative. Be a different kind of writer for half an hour. Don't worry about being awesome; just try a new approach. Toss out all those rules in your head and try something dangerous, or weird, or fun. Then decide what is successful and what failed in your new attempt.

Join Second Life (it's free) and check out the INKsters group there for more virtual inspiration and literary camaraderie.

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).
