Inventive Writing Prompt Round-up #30

Here's my weekly round-up of writing prompts from my Tumblr blog:

#205 The fog wafted and drifted around buildings and through streets, masking and silencing everything in its path. So it was a shock when it lifted and…..

#206 Today is President’s Day in the United States, and lot of people (but not all) have the day off. What holidays does your main character take? What does she or he do on those holidays?

#207 Waiting….waiting….waiting…Was it worth the wait? Or not?

#208 Some people fear spiders, but snakes don’t bother them. Others are the opposite—they hate snakes, but spiders are fine. Which way does your main character fall? What does this say about him/her?

#209 Procrastination. Does your main character indulge in it? How does it affect his life? How does he get himself going again?

#210 Certain objects may hold great significance for us. They can contain memories, remind us of loved ones, act as talismans against evil, or connect us to our creativity. Does your main character have a special object she loves? What does it represent to her?

#211 Oh, the glory of it all.

Happy writing! What are you working on?

#209 My main character doesn’t procrastinate, unlike yours truly. I’ve had music in the ear and on the brain: Marlena Shaw singing “California Soul,” Howie Day “Collide,” and Kongos “Come With me Now.” But you’ve prompted me. I’ll search for a message song on another day. Time to get to work . . . again.
