Writing Prompts for October 24, 2009
Playground
Sitting alone on the giant piece of candy ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
Go to a pond in your area or a place you frequented as a child and report the impact on all five of your senses.
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Gilbert K. Chesterton writes, "The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground."
INKDrop:
Assess the amount of time you spend at "work" and the amount of time you spend at "play." How can you increase the amount of play without getting in trouble for not accomplishing your work? Is it possible to build a new life where you are playing and working at the same time? What would that world look like to you?
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.
