Writing Prompts for November 15, 2009


Motel
Oddly, the place seemed completely abandoned, and ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go on an excursion to a really cheap or really fancy hotel and document what you find there of interest.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Augusten Burroughs writes, "But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair."

INKDrop:

The environment we choose to create literature within probably plays a role in its final form. Do you find yourself writing at the kitchen counter surrounded by dishes? In a fully dedicated writer's office? In a cheap motel room? How do your emotions and your words change as you change writing locations?

Connect:
Join Second Life (it's free) and check out the INKsters group there for more virtual inspiration and literary camaraderie. NaNoWriMo is here! Go sign up and catch up! (It's free, 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.
