Inventive Writing Prompt Round-up #25

Here is the latest collection of posts from my Tumblr blog.  There's more prompts here.  And you can download a whole book of them here.  Oh yeah, and there's one less prompt than usual because last Sunday we drove to Seattle and back (eight hours total in the car) to attend the 100th birthday party of my husband's aunt.  It was a glorious day, reconnecting with cousins and visiting with said aunt.  But I totally forgot about doing a prompt.

#171  He hated when he overslept.  Because, there was nothing you could do about it—that time was lost.  Lost to sleep.  So to make sure it never happened, he….

#172  It was a crushing disappointment.  What does your main character do to recover?

#173  Use the words hoar frost, purple, poem and beast in a sentence.  Then use that sentence as a prompt.

#174  "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."  Annie Dillard. How does your main character spend his/her days?

#176 She was tired.  So tired.  And she dealt with being tired the way she always did.  First, she …..

    You bring up one of my pet peeves, which is the assumption that everyone is mad for video. I get impatient with it. I’m a fast reader, as I’m sure many writers are, and I can scan a page of information much faster than I can listen to someone telling me about it. Usually I end up clicking away.

    And–woot woot on the WIP! I find myself sort of dragging my feet, not quite wanting to be done. Weird, I know. Have a good week, my friend.

    I love 171 and 174! BTW, your Jan. 16 prompt in the book sparked a fabulous blog post that goes live on Feb. 3. Thank you, once again for lighting up my writing life!

    Those two have common DNA.
