Writing Prompts for October 20, 2009

Standing at the check-in counter, ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go someplace where people are waiting in line. Describe your version of their concerns.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck."

INKDrop:

Which gates are you going through? Are they open or closed for you right now? What opportunities exist as you go through them? Is life full of strings pulled tight and ready for striking and the production of melody, or is life full of strings being pulled by other and turning you into a puppet? Explain.

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.
