Inventive Writing Post Round-up #16
Here's the latest collection of blog posts from my Tumblr blog!
#110 Use the words red, candle and chicken in a sentence. Then use that sentence as a writing prompt.
#111 Stand up and look out the window. Now write a sentence describing what you see. Use that sentence as a prompt.
#112 You’ve just been called up to serve in the army for six months. What will you miss the most when you are away from home? Write about it in full, glorious, sensual detail.
#113 Off again—this time you’re headed back home. What does home mean to you? What do you find there you can’t find anywhere else?
#114 Call it religion or spirituality, call it a longing for something bigger than yourself. How does this manifest in you or your character’s life? Do you/they ignore it or follow the call?
#115 Do you believe in luck? Or would you call it something else? How does it manifest in your character’s life?
#116 It's Saturday! How does your main character's routine differ from the week days? What does he or she like to do for fun?
There you go! How are you using prompts these days?

I do believe in luck, especially for writers. I don’t call it hard work; I don’t call it preparation meeting opportunity; I call it luck. I have been blessed with some but not near as much as I want. Isn’t that the way we all are–selfish to the core.
