Writing Prompts for November 7, 2009


Wingman
I could hear the buzzing and knew ...

Artist Date or Field Trip:

Go find an insect. Write about it.

Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
"If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive." American Quaker saying.

INKDrop:

Some of us are terrified of spiders, or snakes, or weird sounds in the dark, or planes, or the girl working in the next cubicle. What phobias do you have? Which ones would make for a great character in your own writing?

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.
