Writing Prompts for October 27, 2009


Flags
When we told him we needed a few decorative flags, we had no idea ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Head out today to find some flapping cloth. What flag is it? Where is it? Why is it there? Who put it there?

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Henry Miller writes, "We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy."

INKDrop:

Which flag are you flying? The one that sends the message to the world that you have everything under control? Or the one that signals danger, revolution and anarchy? Why?

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.
