Writing Prompts for October 31, 2009


Condemned
We weren't about to go into that house until ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Happy Halloween! Don't know if it's a big deal where you live, but in many places this has become THE big holiday for drunken adults. Visit a costume shop and see what's going on and see what things you could become.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Anna Held writes, "Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences."

INKDrop:

Here's the hardest question most writers ever ask themselves ... mostly because the answer might result in you needing to change! What WILL attract audiences to your work? Really. Sit down and write about this and make an action plan for changing the lives of others with your art.

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.
