This is week.... 5?

Sorry about the delay, STUFF HAPPENED.


So in this week's free writing, I thought we could all CHALLENGE ourselves. That is, if you usually write first person, try writing third person, and vice versa. Are you great at writing dialogue but skimp on the descriptions? DESCRIBE something then. Some suggestions:

- Describe a place, from the POV of one of your characters if you like
- Write a brief "action" sequence. A short slap-fight between friends? Or an epic battle between mortal enemies?
- Write something without any dialogue at all, using only character actions to get motivations across.
- ...or write something with nothing but dialogue, and have the reader infer the actions from what is being said.

In the end, it doesn't matter what you decide to write, as long as it deviates from your "standard" fare.

XD Obviously I lied when I said I'd have another prompt post up by Wednesday.  Somehow work ate my life.  But!  Here's another prompt post for the last day of the prompt week, hopefully to give you that one short burst!  
  • Mist
  • Close the curtains
  • Brain-washed
  • Thumbelina

Challenge: Pick someone you've met but don't actually know, and write your story/character based on this person.  Maybe your character has the same occupation, or the same looks, or the same annoying habit of scratching their nose every time they look you in the eye.  Explore.  

Super Challenge:  Do as many five-minute freewrites as you can throughout the day, using as many prompts as you can (one prompt her piece).  Remember--anything 100 words or more counts as a drabble and can be posted on the community!   Person who does the most prompts at the end of the day wins a shiny banner for their profile and a prize!  (cut-off time is 11:59 pm, in whatever time zone you're in).

Hey fellow writers!  =D  I'm really excited to see that the prompts are helping some of you, and hope that more of you (the community now has 24 members!) will benefit from the prompts and share your writing with us. 

I'm really bad at doing huge one-post prompts, so what I'm going to do instead is make several prompt posts.  Please bear with me!  Prompts for the first part of the week:
  • Made-up words 
  • Sketchy
  • Release me
  • Like ants
  • Knife wound
Challenge: 
From the Observation Deck by Naomi Epel:  Create a need.  Make your character want something, whether it be something as simple as a glass of water, or something as important as findingTheBookorI'llDIEOMG.  "Humans beings are constantly yearning.  Every moment we are wanting something.  Even if the desire is not to desire.  Or if the desire is to desire." 


=D Have fun! I'll be back on Wednesday for another prompt post!
