Writing Prompts for October 28, 2009


Vista
From here she could see ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

You're off to find a beautiful or interesting view. Find a high spot and look out. Describe!

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Helmut Walcha writes, "Bach opens a vista to the universe. After experiencing him, people feel there is meaning to life after all."

INKDrop:

Bach used music to open eyes. How can you use words to open up the senses of your readers? Try creating a description in a scene but avoid using the most obvious sense as the dominant description.

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.
