Writing Prompts for November 20, 2009


Fill 'er Up
I didn't want to stop there, but it seemed ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go buy a package of gum or mints from the clerk at the ugliest petrol station in your neighborhood. Tell us about him or her.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Peter Rose once said, "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball."

INKDrop:

Often, the most famous people we know are so passionate about their craft, they would do anything necessary to continue doing it. How passionate are you about writing? Is it a nice diversion? Is it something you must do? Is it something that turns your days and nights into a nightmarish obsession? Based on your passion, can you imagine where it will take you?

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.
