Writing Prompts for November 22, 2009
Open
She couldn't believe they were open, so ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
There is a business near your home you've never patronized. Go there now and see what they have. Then write.
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Publilius Syrus wrote, "Count not him among your friends who will retail your privacies to the world."
INKDrop:
So you're a writer, eh? It's your job to find the story, tell the story, and then most annoyingly of all, sell the story. What privacies are you prepared to retail to the world? To what lengths will you turn art into business? We should be prepared to know where the art ends, and where the business begins.
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 write a novel in eight days! (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.
