Winter Wait
It was cold sitting there, but ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
We need to go find a public bench someplace and sit, and wait, and watch. Then write.
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
An anonymous writer said, “Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends”
INKDrop:
What has love made you do? What will it make you do? Your characters may or may not share the same views on love as you. Whenever we approach the subject of love, we need to pay attention to the details, like sitting in the middle of the bench, without allowing our own authorial views to color the scene and distort our characters' beliefs.

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). Nine days left, can you make it?
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.
