Writing Prompts for October 25, 2009


Partners
The cop and the vagabond knew ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go search out an officer of the law. Who did you find, what did they look like, describe how they might react if you committed a crime.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Orson Welles said, "Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else."

INKDrop:

Think about viewpoint as you move into today's writing. What do the cops believe? What do the bandits believe? What do you as a citizen of Earth believe? Cops spend so much time around criminals they begin to think like they do. Who are you spending time around and how have they influenced your viewpoint?

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.
