Both stories were utterly amazing. Each took a prompt and ran with it. What's even more impressive is that they wrote these stories in a limited amount of time! Very talented writers.
Here's this week's prompts. Take a swing at them, and remember, it's all about freeing your imagination. Don't worry about whether you think you're a fantastic writer or not. If the prompts tickle your creative nerve endings, then write what comes to you.
It's late at night. You're headed home
on a dark highway when you spot something suspicious on the side of
the road.
*What do you see? Do you stop or
continue driving?*
The woman wakes before her alarm. For a
moment, she's confused about what woke her. Then she hears it. A
small scrape from her living room.
*Talk about the noise, and what she
does next."
During a first date, a man and woman
notice a couple celebrating an anniversary. Although, the married
couple is at dinner, celebrating. They don't seem especially happy.
*Describe how it appears to the dating
couple, or talk about why the married couple is unhappy.*
(Again, ignore the linky title here.)
I love your prompts. I really should attempt to re-write one of them. I just don't feel as creative as you...lol You do inspire me though.
ReplyDeleteWhat will it hurt to give it a shot? You don't even have to show anyone, but you might find that you have a hidden talent waiting to explode out of you!
DeleteOMG! Don't stop! I am LOVING this. So much fun! Partly because if I try to come up with my own idea by force I stare at the screen and drool. That's bad for keyboards. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIt is bad for keyboards. Unless you have one of those spill proof ones, then it wouldn't matter. I'm probably going to pick a prompt this week, too!
DeleteHi MIssy! I'm sad because I can't participate this week. :( Had some doctor appointments etc. this week that have gotten me all off schedule (blog-wise). I much appreciate your shout out above and I do really love coming up with s story based on your great prompts! I'll definitely be looking forward to next week. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you won't be participating this week! I love reading your stories, but I completely understand. Have to keep schedule on your own blog before being part of someone else's. I can't wait to see what you write next week.
DeleteTake care!
