I count myself among the very blessed, in that I worked nearly 11 hours today and still had fun. Three cheers for enjoyable jobs!

And three cheers for this week’s InMonsters!

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:

Try not to scream
That wasn’t supposed to happen
Airless
Mind writer
Do not fold

Want to share your Inspiration Monday piece? Post it on your blog and link back to today’s post (here’s a video on how to do it); I’ll include a link to your piece in the next Inspiration Monday post. No blog? Email your piece to me at bekindrewrite (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Plus, get the InMon badge for your site here.

Happy writing!

    Thank you so much! 😀

    I really enjoy these prompts that you give us every week. Some weeks I might not be able to write anything from the prompts, but I find that if I let it linger around in my head long enough, then maybe I will come up with something. Other weeks I come up with lots of stuff! Thank you so much.
