Bank
It wasn't much of a town, but there on the sidewalk ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
Visit your bank and view it with the eyes of a bank robber. How does your change of viewpoint affect your experience and your emotions there?
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Johnny Carson joked that "Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place."
INKDrop:
Writing about the bad guy can be a tempting opportunity to view your character's negative traits, but the experienced writer knows the villain is often the most important character in the plot. As you write today, study your relationship with the bad people and try to find the goodness inside them. Then find the root causes creating their negative behaviors in the world. How can you compassionately portray your character without ignoring his or her evil deeds?

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).
