Inspiration Monday: don’t watch the news
Voice Week 2012 is on its way with nine Voice Writers signed up already! Welcome all! Tell me in the comments if you want to join in, too. It takes place October 1 – 5, but feel free to start writing now.
It’s been a great week for InMon, too. Look at all this great work!

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:
Don’t watch the news
Empty frames
Pretend to be surprised
Now entering reality
Thimble clad

Great prompts, Step, as usual! I’ve been writing a series of Twisters (Twitter-length (140 characters) flash fiction) based around the Ekka (Love the Bad Guy knows what I’m talking about (I think) they’ll be up on my blog sometime tonight after work, and I’ll definitely be using some of these prompts. I’m looking at it as though it’s VoiceWeek practice – I’ll be back to put up the link later!

Here’s mine, a bit of practice for VoiceWeek, I used Now Entering Reality for this piece, although the top two quite tickle my fancy as well – hopefully more to come!

Thank you! Sounds really cool. Looking forward to it.
I guess you better count me in for Voice Week …
Yes! Kim, gotcha.
Wonderful, wonderful prompts. I had so much fun. I just want to ask, is there an InMon community on Facebook?
Sorry; no, we’re not on Facebook yet. My aversion to getting a personal Facebook page (rebel to the end) has thus far prevented me from getting a page for this blog. BUT I have been considering it. Maybe you can convince me. : )
*Puts on persuasive hat*
Please, please? Pretty please, with sugar and berries and nuts?
I’m not very good at this. lol
Haha, I’ll consider it. Maybe I’ll put out some feelers to see how many InMonsters would be interested in connecting on Facebook.
I wrote another short story using the first and third prompts, but I submitted it to http://www.101fiction.com/ , so I’ll have to either post it when it gets rejected or link it when it’s accepted…
Cool! Keep me posted, and I’ll add the link whenever it becomes available. Hope you get accepted – bet you will. : )
Just squeezed in before the week finished!
