Writing Prompts for October 6, 2009


Lookout
Waiting for their arrival, she ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:
Find something "science-y" in your area and stop by for a visit. What did you discover?

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)

Edwin Powell Hubble in The Nature of Science writes, "Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science."

INKDrop:

We can only perceive with five (maybe six) surprisingly unreliable senses. Write with all the sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes you can dare to include and your readers will experience your story in their bodies as well as their minds.

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.
