Inventive Writing Prompt Round-up #52
Here we go again with our weekly collection of prompts from my daily Tumblr blog. Enjoy and write a lot, will you please? It would make me happy.
#357 Use the words umbrella, metal and sunlight in a sentence. Now use that sentence as a prompt.
#358 He couldn’t understand a word she said.
#359 Write about your character experiencing a storm. Is he/she scared or exhilarated? Eager for it to end or happy to let it rage around her? Does it energize her or tire him?
#360 Who is the love of your main character’s life?
#361 “I’d stay another year if I saw a teardrop in your eye.” Heard it In a Love Song,by the Marshall Tucker band. Write about what’s going on here.
#362 It was over. Thank God. She breathed a huge sigh of relief. But then….
#363 Oh, the exhilaration of it all!
There you go! How is your writing going this week?

#359 Our dog has a irrational fear of storms. My wife does extraordinary things to comfort him: she sits with him, she wraps his up, she buys “goofy” pills from the vet. We bought a storm vest which didn’t work. Of course, the bad weather passes and he is okay. Next time, exact same reaction. In dog academia, he is a Rhodes Scholar but he flunks Weather 101. He knows when his treats come. He knows the words “walk to the mailbox.” It’s not like he’s dumb. He learns other things but this storm business has his number. That’s why it’s “irrational.” We humans never do that. Right? When we touch the stove and find it hot, we never put our hand there again. Once in a risky situation, when we come close to destroying ourselves, we never go back there? Right? Then again, we did invent the word “irrational.”
