The Rules

There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.

OR

No really; I need rules!

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

The Prompts:

One day he shot me; we’ve been happy ever since*

Do you ever feel like glass?*

I miss someone I’ve never met*

One man’s tragedy, another man’s miracle

Silence followed

Happy writing!

    Hey guys! I’m actually on time this week! 🙂 Here’s my InMon to “I Miss Someone I’ve Never Met” – plus I’ve ALSO recorded the song so you can hear it too! WOW! I did get motivated! (Also helps when you have some time on your hands!) As always, let me know what you think. Cheers, Drew. http://drewlanecomposer.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/inspiration-monday-xvii-i-miss-someone-ive-never-met/
