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.

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:

Deadly paper

The city that never wakes

Deafening

Last place you look

They took it away

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.

Happy writing!

Happy birthday InMon!

This one sets my brain-gears turning “The city that never wakes.” I must ponder on it…

    AHHHHH! *flails arms*
    
    *composes self* ahem… sorry about that. I probably will write something on this, but obviously not in a week as I haven’t started yet. It needs to percolate a bit before it dribbles down into my fingers… ew.

      Take your time. You don’t need to rush it. Just drop me a line once your fingers are – um – dripping.

        No. It’s just the word “percolate.” I can smell it right now…

You’re going to think I am playing into what I wrote, BUT the truth is stranger than fiction…

I tried to listen to the video on how to post here, but I put my hearing amplifier some place safe this evening and was unable to hear it even at 100 per cent sound. Will find it tomorrow.. actually today…
when I can see better with day light and not just the lamp.

I have posted at
http://siggiofmaine.wordpress.com/

Will be sure to listen to the video as soon as I can find my hearing thingy.

Peace,
Siggi in Downeast Maine

Here’s mine, just under the wire.
